prevention; All of Section B (Reporting
Client Counts) has been deleted which
includes: How the facility will complete
client counts; number of facilities in
client counts; names and addresses of
additional facilities reported for;

counts by category, by number under
age 18, number receiving methadone,
buprenorphine, or naltrexone, and
number of dedicated beds; number of
residential client counts by category, by
number under age 18, and number
receiving methadone, buprenorphine, or

Project: Testing of Electronic Health
Records Questions for the National
Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment
Services (N–SSATS) and the National
Mental Health Services Survey (N–
MHSS)—NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral
Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ),
is requesting approval for conducting
cognitive testing on the use of electronic
health records (EHRs) by substance
abuse and mental health treatment
facilities in the United States. The final
goal of this cognitive testing is to
incorporate questions on electronic
health records to SAMHSA’s National
Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment
Services (N–SSATS) and the National
Mental Health Services Survey (N–
MHSS).
Currently, there is a lack of national
level data that exists on behavioral
health care providers’ progress toward
interoperability. The National Council

for Behavioral Health in 2011/2012
conducted a survey to determine health
information technology (IT) readiness.
This data focused only on the
membership of the National Council for
Behavioral Health and does not provide
national baseline data on the four
domains of interoperability that are
outlined in the Interoperability
Roadmap (finding, sending, receiving
and integrating data into EHRs) for
behavioral health care providers.
Currently, these providers are not
eligible to participate in interoperability
driving efforts such as the Medicare
Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of
2015 (MACRA) initiative. However,
some behavioral health providers may
be eligible in the future to participate in
value-based payment initiatives such as
the Merit-Based Incentive Payment
System (MIPS). Measuring and reporting
the state of interoperability will help to
determine the type of support these
providers need and their readiness to
participate in delivery system reform
efforts in the future.
health facilities for the N–SSATS and
the N–MHSS surveys. Specifically, the
information from the testing will be
used to reduce respondent burden while
simultaneously improving the quality of
the data collected in these surveys.
Data from this testing will be
collected mostly via telephone
interviews, and few cases conducted
with in-person interviews. Results of
this test will not be disseminated or
used to inform policy, program, or
budget decisions. Findings will be
shared between ONC and SAMHSA staff
to decide how the tested questions will
be incorporated in the surveys.
It is estimated that the total burden for
this project is 40 hours, based on a
maximum of 80 interviews with an
average of 30 minutes per interview.
The request for OMB seeks approval
to conduct this testing of EHR questions
during the Fall of 2018 for possible
implementation starting in 2020.
The total estimated burden for this
study is 39.2 hours for the period from
September through December 2018.

Results from this testing will allow ONC

and interoperability among behavioral
health care providers using SAMHSA’s
current national surveys, the National
Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment

Project: Testing of Electronic Health Records Questions for the
National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) and the
National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS)--NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ),
is requesting approval for conducting cognitive testing on the use of
electronic health records (EHRs) by substance abuse and mental health
treatment facilities in the United States. The final goal of this
cognitive testing is to incorporate questions on electronic health
records to SAMHSA's National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment
Services (N-SSATS) and the National Mental Health Services Survey (N-
MHSS).
Currently, there is a lack of national level data that exists on
behavioral health care providers' progress toward interoperability. The
National Council
[[Page 49405]]
for Behavioral Health in 2011/2012 conducted a survey to determine
health information technology (IT) readiness. This data focused only on
the membership of the National Council for Behavioral Health and does
not provide national baseline data on the four domains of
interoperability that are outlined in the Interoperability Roadmap
(finding, sending, receiving and integrating data into EHRs) for
behavioral health care providers. Currently, these providers are not
eligible to participate in interoperability driving efforts such as the
Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA)
initiative. However, some behavioral health providers may be eligible
in the future to participate in value-based payment initiatives such as
the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). Measuring and
reporting the state of interoperability will help to determine the type
of support these providers need and their readiness to participate in
delivery system reform efforts in the future.
Collaboration between the Office of the National Coordinator for
Health Information Technology (ONC) and SAMHSA on this data collection
effort will provide an efficient manner to track trends in health IT
adoption, use, and interoperability among behavioral health care
providers. In addition, this collaboration will contribute to the
development of strategic efforts to leverage health IT in behavioral
health care settings to provide cost effective, high quality and
patient-centered care. Results from this testing will allow ONC and
SAMHSA to work together to quantitatively assess health IT adoption and
interoperability among behavioral health care providers using SAMHSA's
current national surveys, the National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (N-SSATS) and the National Mental Health Services
Survey (N-MHSS).
The information obtained from these efforts will be used to develop
a new set of questions on the use and implementation of EHRs in
behavioral health facilities for the N-SSATS and the N-MHSS surveys.
Specifically, the information from the testing will be used to reduce
respondent burden while simultaneously improving the quality of the
data collected in these surveys.
Data from this testing will be collected mostly via telephone
interviews, and few cases conducted with in-person interviews. Results
of this test will not be disseminated or used to inform policy,

SAMHSA staff to decide how the tested questions will be incorporated in
the surveys.
It is estimated that the total burden for this project is 40 hours,
based on a maximum of 80 interviews with an average of 30 minutes per
interview.
The request for OMB seeks approval to conduct this testing of EHR
questions during the Fall of 2018 for possible implementation starting
