information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and

The Laboratory Response Network
(LRN) was established by the
Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) in accordance
with Presidential Decision Directive 39,
which outlined national anti-terrorism
policies and assigned specific missions
to Federal departments and agencies.
The LRN’s mission is to maintain an
integrated national and international
network of laboratories that can respond
to acts of biological, chemical, or
radiological terrorism and other public
health emergencies. Federal, State, and
local public health laboratories
voluntarily join the LRN.
The LRN Program Office maintains a
database of information for each
member laboratory that includes contact
information as well as staff and
equipment inventories. However,
semiannually or during emergency
response, the LRN Program Office may
conduct a Special Data Call to obtain
additional information from LRN
Member Laboratories in regards to
biological or chemical terrorism
preparedness. Special Data Calls may be
conducted via queries that are
distributed by broadcast emails or by
survey tools (i.e. Survey Monkey). This
is a request for an extension to this
generic clearance. The only cost to
respondents is their time to respond to
the data call. The total annual burden
hours requested is 400 hours.

Proposed Project
The National Ambulatory Medical
Care Survey (NAMCS) National
Electronic Health Record Survey
(NEHRS)—New—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description

comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘utilization of health care’’
in the United States. NAMCS NEHRS
has been conducted annually since 2008
as a mail survey supplement under
NAMCS. Questions in NAMCS NEHRS
have been asked in NAMCS starting in
2001. NCHS is seeking OMB approval to
make NAMCS NEHRS as an
independent survey for the next three
years.
The purpose of NEHRS is to measure
progress toward goals for electronic
health records (EHRs) adoption.
NAMCS NEHRS target universe consists
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of all non-Federal office-based
physicians (excluding those in the
specialties of anesthesiology, radiology,
and pathology) who are engaged in
direct patient care.
NAMCS NEHRS was initiated as a
mail survey supplement under NAMCS.
NAMCS NEHRS is the principal source
of data on national and state-level EHR
adoption in the United States. In 2008
and 2009, the sample size was 2,000
physicians annually. Starting in 2010,
the annual sample size was increased
five-fold, from 2,000 physicians to
10,302 physicians. The increased
sample size allows for more reliable
national estimates as well as state-level
estimates on EHR adoption without
having to be combined with NAMCS.
For these reasons, it is our intent to have
NEHRS stand as an independent survey,
not as a supplement under NAMCS.
NAMCS NEHRS collects information
on characteristics of physician practices,
the capabilities of EHRs in those
practices, and intent to apply for
meaningful use incentive payments.
These data, together with trend data,
may be used to monitor the adoption of
EHR as well as accessing factors
associated with EHR adoption.
