Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2012 / Notices
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
(RFI) is to gather information from
providers of primary care and
occupational medicine, vendors and
creators of EHR software, and the public
to inform NIOSH’s response to this and
other IOM recommendations. Gathering
information through this RFI will enable
NIOSH to understand opportunities and
challenges in collecting occupational
information and how and why health
care providers collect and use this
information. The IOM report with the 10
recommendations can be downloaded
at: https://iom.edu/Reports/2011/
Incorporating-Occupational-Information
-in-Electronic-Health-Records-LetterReport.aspx.
NIOSH has released this RFI to learn
about how the following types of patient
work information are collected and
used:
Employment status (e.g., employed,
unemployed, disabled, retired, part
time/full time, shift)
Patient’s current occupation(s)
Patient’s current industry(s)
Patient’s usual (longest held)
occupation(s)
Patient’s usual (longest held) industry(s)
Employer(s) name
Employer Address(es)
Work-relatedness of patient’s health
condition(s)
Other information about patient’s work,
such as information about exposures
at work.
II. Questions of Interest
Input from primary care providers,
occupational and public health
specialists, EHR vendors and others
with interest in the topic is sought on
the questions listed below pertaining to
the collection and use of work
information in the clinical setting.
NIOSH is interested in input both from
those who are currently using EHRs as
well as those who are not.
(1) For providers of primary health
care: When do the clinicians in your
practice setting currently ask patients
about their work?
Specifically, what information on
patients’ work is collected?
If you currently use an EHR:
Where in the health record (either
paper or electronic) is patient work
information stored and/or viewed? For
example, is the work information
entered in the ‘social history’ section of
an EMR? Where would you prefer
patient work information to be stored
and/or viewed in the EHR?
Does your EHR maintain a history of
the information so that you can identify
how long and when a patient was in a
given occupation?
If you currently do not use an EHR,
where do you record this information in
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:35 Jun 27, 2012
Jkt 226001
the paper record? Is it available to the
care provider during the patient
encounter? Is there a history of the
patient’s work information available to
the care provider?
In your clinical practice, who (which
personnel) besides the clinicians collect
patients’ work information (e.g.,
registration personnel or nursing
assistants)?
Have those personnel been trained
specifically in how to collect
information about patient’s work i.e.,
how to gain an accurate job title etc.?
Do you collect work information from
teenagers?
Do you collect work information from
retirees?
Are questions about work routine
question or triggered based on specific
complaints?
How is work information used to
inform patient care?
Please provide an example/
description of the usefulness of patient
work information in providing care to a
patient.
Please provide any additional
comments you have about collection or
use of patient work information in the
clinical setting.
(2) For providers of occupational
(specialty) health care: At your clinical
facility, how is the patient’s work
information collected?
Specifically, what information on
patients’ work is collected?
Is the work information entered in the
administrative record used for billing
purposes?
Is patient work information collected
on paper or in an EHR? Is it available
to the care provider during the patient
encounter?
Is there a history of the patient’s work
information available to the care
provider?
If you use a standardized form to
collection information about patients’
work, please briefly describe its main
elements.
In your clinical practice, who (which
personnel) besides the clinicians collect
(e.g., registration personnel or nursing
assistants)?
Have those personnel been trained
specifically in how to collect
information about patient’s work i.e.,
how to gain an accurate job title, etc.?
Where in the health record (either
paper or electronic) is the information
stored? For example, is the work
information entered in the ‘social
history’ section?
What are the most important ways
that clinicians can use to inform clinical
care of patients?
Please provide an example of the
usefulness of work information in
providing care to a patient.

Do you have any other comments
about collection or use of patient work
information in the clinical setting?
(3) For developers and vendors of
EHR/software: Does your base/basic
EHR product contain pre-ordained
fields for Industry, Occupation,
Employer or other information about
patients’ work? If not, have you been
asked to provide these fields?
Regardless of whether they are in the
base system or added on request, how
are the values in the fields for Industry,
Occupation, or other work information
formatted (e.g., narrative text, dropdown menus, other)?
Are these values coded and if so, what
coding schema are used (e.g., NAICS,
SOC, Census codes, user defined)?
To the best of your knowledge, how
are the data captured in these fields
used by end users of your EHR/product?
Please share challenges you anticipate
in managing a history of employer,
industry and occupation (current and
usual) for multiple employment
situations as both text and coded fields
in your system, if your system does not
already perform these functions?
Could your system access and retrieve
information from another web-based
system via web services (such as an
automated coding system for coding
industry and occupation)?
Your comments are appreciated. They
will be used to improve NIOSH’s
electronic health records efforts.

Review; Comment Request
Title: Mother and Infant Home
Visiting Program Evaluation: Baseline
collection of saliva for measuring
cotinine.
OMB No.: 0970–0402.
Description: In 2011, the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) and Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 125 / Thursday, June 28, 2012 / Notices
within the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) launched a
national evaluation called the Mother
and Infant Home Visiting Program
Evaluation (MIHOPE). This evaluation,
mandated by the Affordable Care Act,
will inform the federal government
about the effectiveness of the Maternal,
Infant, and Early Childhood Home
Visiting (MIECHV) program in its first
few years of operation, and provide
information to help states develop and
strengthen home visiting programs in
the future. OMB is currently reviewing
a data collection package for Phase 1 of
the study that includes a survey of
parents at baseline (study entry) and
various surveys of home visiting
program staff and other service
providers in the community.
The purpose of the current document
is to request approval of collection of
saliva at baseline from women
participating in the study. Saliva will be
used to measure cotinine, a metabolite
of nicotine that indicates the extent to
which the individual smokes or is
subject to second-hand smoke. Smoking
is a strong predictor of adverse
outcomes for both parents and children
and baseline data on smoking will play
a key role in the MIHOPE analysis. Prior
studies of home visiting have found
larger program effects for smokers.
Saliva offers a more accurate means to
measure smoking compared with self
reports.
Saliva for measuring cotinine is being
proposed for baseline data collection in
response to public comment on the
Phase 1 data collection package. To
provide the opportunity for public
comment, the addition of cotinine is
being reviewed separately from the
main Phase 1 data collection package.
Respondents: Saliva will be collected
from enrolled parents, which will
include pregnant women and mothers of
children under six months old.
Annual Burden Estimates
The following burden table provides
information on the burden of data
collection efforts during Phase 1. It is
divided into three sections: (1) Data
collection related to site recruitment
that was previously approved by OMB,
(2) data collection currently being
reviewed by OMB, and (3) saliva
collection. Data collection will take
place over a three-year period.
