Proposed Project
Data Collection for the Residential
Care Community and Adult Day Service
Center Components of the National
Study of Long-Term Care Providers
(OMB Control No. 0920–0943)—
Reinstatement with change—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
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 health resources . . . [and]
utilization of health care, including
extended care facilities, and other
institutions.’’
NCHS seeks approval to collect data
for the residential care community
(RCC) and adult day services center
(ADSC) survey components of the third
wave of the National Study of LongTerm Care Providers (NSLTCP). A twoyear clearance is requested.
The NSLTCP is designed to (1)
broaden NCHS’ ongoing coverage of
paid, regulated long-term care (LTC)
services; (2) merge with existing
administrative data on LTC providers
and service users (i.e. Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
data on nursing homes and residents,
home health agencies and patients, and
hospices and patients); (3) update data
more frequently on LTC providers and
service users for which nationally
representative administrative data do
not exist; and (4) enable comparisons
across LTC sectors and timely
monitoring of supply, use, and key
characteristics of these sectors over
time.
Data will be collected from two types
of LTC providers in the 50 states and the
District of Columbia: 11,690 RCCs and
5,440 ADSCs. Data were collected in
2012 and 2014. The data to be collected
beginning in 2016 include the basic
characteristics, services, staffing, and
practices of RCCs and ADSCs; and
aggregate-level distributions of the
demographics, selected health
conditions and health care utilization,
physical functioning, and cognitive
functioning of RCC residents and ADSC
participants.
Expected users of data from this
collection effort include, but are not
limited to CDC; other Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS)
agencies, such as the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation, the Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology, and the Administration for
Community Living; associations, such
as LeadingAge (formerly the American
Association of Homes and Services for
the Aging), National Center for Assisted
Living, American Seniors Housing
Association, Argentum (formerly the
Assisted Living Federation of America),
and National Adult Day Services
Association; universities; foundations;
and other private sector organizations
such as the Alzheimer’s Association and
the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Expected burden from data collection
is 30 minutes per respondent. We
estimate that 5% of RCC and ADSC
directors will be called for an additional
5 minutes of data retrieval when there
are errors or omissions in their returned
questionnaires.
The burden for the collection is
shown in the Table below. As a result
of the addition, deletion, and revision of
select items, along with the
development of two versions of the
questionnaires for both the directors of
RCCs and ADSCs, this submission
includes 4,310 burden hours, a
reduction of 4,626 hours since the
previously approved information
collection.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
