Information Collection Request Title:
Support and Services at Home (SASH)
Participant Survey.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to conduct a survey of Support
And Services at Home (SASH)
participants to assess the impact of the
SASH program on health outcomes.
Information collected includes general
health status, functional status, quality
of life, medication problems and dietary
issues. The SASH program operates in
Vermont and links staff based in
housing properties with a team of
community-based health and supportive
services providers to help older adults
coordinate and manage their care needs.
SASH services include: assessment by a
multidisciplinary team, creation of an
individualized care plan, on-site
nursing and care coordination with
team members and other local partners,
and community activities to support
health and wellness. SASH is anchored
in affordable senior housing properties,
serving residents in the property and
seniors living in the surrounding
community.
The goal of this project is to conduct
a comprehensive evaluation of the
SASH program. The evaluation will
assess whether the SASH model of
coordinated health and supportive
services in affordable housing improves
quality of life, health and functional
status of participants. The evaluation
has been designed to comprehensively
address the research questions while
minimizing the burden placed on the
SASH program staff, their partners (e.g.,
service providers), and Medicare and
dually eligible Medicare and Medicaid
beneficiaries. The mail survey is
designed to collect outcomes that
cannot be measured from claims data or
other sources. We will use brief,
standardized scales with demonstrated
reliability and validity in older adults.
Information collected in the survey is
not of a sensitive nature. Questions in
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the beneficiary survey are confined to
health outcomes. RTI International will
conduct and analyze the survey. RTI has
experience doing similar work for ASPE
and other government clients.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: To determine the impact of
the SASH program on quality of life,
health and functional status of
participants. Care has been taken to
ensure that there is no overlap between
other ongoing state evaluations.
Through discussions with SASH
program staff and other state officials in
Vermont, we determined that the
information we seek to collect is not
already being collected from our
proposed sample, nor can it be
measured from claims data. As a result
of these efforts, the information
collected through the survey will not
duplicate any other effort and is not
obtainable from any other source.
Likely Respondents: The target
population for the survey is Medicare
beneficiaries participating in the
Support and Services at Home (SASH)
demonstration. SASH provides
integrated, home-based services to
beneficiaries in selected housing
properties throughout Vermont. At this
point, 1,685 intervention beneficiaries
have been identified in 37 SASH sites.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
