Advisory Council for the Elimination of Tuberculosis Meeting (ACET), 9925-9926 [2013-03133]

Download as PDF 9925 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2013 / Notices launched in 2007. As it was designed to provide baseline information and to be repeated every two years, it was conducted again in 2009 and 2011. The survey inquired about patient education and support for breastfeeding throughout the maternity stay as well as staff training and maternity care practices. OMB approval for the 2007 survey included a request to CDC to provide, prior to the fielding of the 2009 iteration, a report to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on the results of the 2007 collection. In this report, CDC provided survey results by geographic and demographic characteristics and a summary of activities that resulted from the survey. A summary of mPINC findings was also the anchor of all activities related to the CDC August 2011 Vital Signs activity, marking the first time that CDC decided to highlight improving hospital maternity practices as the CDC-wide public health priority for the month. A major strength of the mPINC survey design is its structure as an ongoing, national census. The 2013 and 2015 mPINC surveys repeat the prior iterations (2007, 2009, and 2011). Ensuring that the methodology, content, and administration of these will match high interest among the respondent population. The estimated burden for the Telephone Screening Interview is five minutes, and the estimated burden for completing the mPINC Survey is 30 minutes. As with the initial surveys, a major goal of the 2013 and 2015 follow-up surveys is to be fully responsive to facilities’ needs for information and technical assistance. CDC will provide direct feedback to respondents in a customized benchmark report of their results and identify and document progress since 2007 on their quality improvement efforts. CDC will use information from the mPINC surveys to identify, document, and share information related to incremental changes in practices and care processes over time at the hospital, state, and national levels. Data will be also used by researchers to better understand the relationships between hospital characteristics, maternity-care practices, state level factors, and breastfeeding initiation and continuation rates. Participation in the survey is voluntary, and responses may be submitted by mail or through a Webbased system. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. those used before maximizes the utility not only of the data to be collected in the upcoming survey, but also that of data already collected; fidelity to the original design allows for analyses of the wide spectrum of changes and factors at the hospital, regional, state, and national levels that affect any given hospital’s practices. The census design does not employ sampling methods. Facilities are identified by using the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC) and the American Hospital Association (AHA) Annual Survey of Hospitals. Facilities that will be invited to participate in the survey include those that participated in previous iterations and those that were invited but did not participate in the previous iterations, as well as those that have become eligible since the most recent mPINC survey. All birth centers and hospitals with ≥1 registered maternity bed will be screened via a brief phone call to assess their eligibility, identify additional locations, and identify the appropriate point of contact. The extremely high response rates to the previous iterations of the mPINC survey (82% in 2007 and 2009, and 83% in 2011) indicate that the methodology is appropriate and also reflects unusually ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hours) Total burden (in hours) Type of respondent Form name AHA Hospitals with either > 1 birth or > 1 registered maternity bed.
