Project: Hospital Data Abstraction Form, Formerly Entitled Evaluation 
of Emergency Department Crisis Center Follow-Up--(OMB No. 0930-0337)--
Revision

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) will conduct an 
evaluation to assess the impact of crisis center follow-up with 
patients admitted to emergency departments following a suicide attempt.

[[Page 57628]]

    The overarching purpose of the Hospital Data Abstraction Form, 
formerly entitled Evaluation of Emergency Department Crisis Center 
Follow-up, is to examine the impact of crisis center follow-up with 
patients admitted to emergency departments or inpatient behavioral 
health units following a suicide attempt or serious suicidal ideation 
on subsequent readmissions for suicidal behavior. This effort assesses 
the capacity of follow-up to save both lives and critical hospital 
resources. This evaluation effort includes one data collection 
activity. Clearance is being requested for the continuation and 
expansion of the already-approved abstraction form of hospital data on 
patients admitted to emergency departments or inpatient behavioral 
health units following a suicide attempt or serious ideation. This 
effort will continue to examine the impact of crisis center follow-up 
on readmissions for suicidal behavior. The data collected through this 
project will ultimately help SAMHSA to understand and direct crisis 
center follow-up lifesaving initiatives. The data collection activity 
is described below.
    Hospitals collaborating with two cohorts (cohorts IV and V) of 
Lifeline crisis centers will participate in this expanded initiative. 
Fifteen hospitals per cohort will participate for a total of 30. 
Patient data will be collected for patients admitted for a suicide 
attempt in the two years prior to collaboration between the hospital 
and crisis center and for patients admitted for a suicide attempt for 
the two-year period after collaboration.
    The Hospital Data Abstraction Form will be utilized to collect 
systematic patient data for patients seen in the 30 participating 
hospitals' emergency departments or inpatient behavioral health units. 
Information to be abstracted from patient data include: Demographic 
data, historical data, and subsequent suicidal behavioral and admission 
data. Data will be de-identified. Hospital staff will review patient 
data for qualifying (i.e., admission to the emergency department for 
suicide attempt) records. Records to be reviewed will include emergency 
department or inpatient behavioral health unit admissions for the two 
years prior to crisis center and hospital collaboration and for two 
years following collaboration. It is expected that a total of 30,000 
records will be abstracted by hospital staff and provided to the 
evaluation team.
    This revision involves an increase in the number of participating 
hospital respondents and burden associated with the continuation/
expansion of the already-approved Hospital Data Abstraction Form (OMB 
No. 0930-0337; Expiration 09/30/2016), as well as the discontinuation 
of data collection and burden associated with the Crisis Center Data 
Abstraction Form.
    The estimated response burden to collect this information is as 
follows annualized over the requested three-year clearance period is 
presented below:
