Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review, 32179-32180 [2019-14298]

Download as PDF 32179 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 129 / Friday, July 5, 2019 / Notices be accomplished by standardizing and enhancing sharing of existing ED data locally collected by 52 health departments (all 50 state health departments, the health department of Puerto Rico, and the health department of the District of Columbia) with CDC. In addition, CDC leadership communicates with HHS on an ongoing basis and this data is part of its request to better monitor, plan and implement programs to prevent overdose and reduce subsequent harms. DOSE proposes to fund 52 health departments (50 state health departments, the health department of Puerto Rico and the health department of the District of Columbia) to rapidly share existing ED data on counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and stimulant overdoses using two standard data forms (i.e., the Rapid ED overdose data form and the ED discharge overdose data form) and standard CDC case definitions. The system will leverage ED syndromic data and hospital discharge data on ED visits already routinely collected by state and territorial health departments. No new data will be systematically collected from EDs, and health departments will be reimbursed by CDC for the burden related to sharing ED data with CDC. Fifty-two funded health departments (50 state health departments, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia) will rapidly share existing ED data with CDC on a monthly basis using the Rapid ED overdose data form and standard CDC case definitions. Data may come from different local ED data systems, but is expected to cover at least 75% of ED visits in the jurisdiction (e.g., state). CDC will require all participating health departments to provide counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin, and stimulant overdoses by county, age group, sex, and time (i.e., month and year) in a standardized manner using the Rapid ED overdose data form, which is an Excel data template. This form also collects data quality indicators such as percent of ED visits missing data on key variables (i.e., metadata). In order to assess and improve rapid ED data sharing, all 52 participating health departments will also be asked to share counts of ED visits involving suspected drug, opioid, heroin and stimulant overdoses by county, age group, sex, and time (i.e., month and year) from more finalized hospital discharge files, the current surveillance standard. The data will be shared with CDC on a quarterly or yearly basis using a standardized Excel data form, the ED discharge overdose data form, and standard CDC case definitions. The total estimated annual burden hours are 1,542. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project Study on Disparities in Distress Screening among Lung and Ovarian Cancer—New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Within the cancer treatment community, interest in the psychosocial impacts of cancer diagnosis and treatment is increasing. These psychosocial impacts are wide ranging and include not only anxiety related to the illness and treatment side effects such as pain, fatigue and cognition, but also stress related to nonmedical issues such as family relationships, financial hardship, social stressors (e.g. transportation), and stigmatization. There is growing evidence that addressing the psychosocial stresses of cancer survivors increases both their longevity and quality of life. The 2016 Institute of Medicine (currently, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) ovarian cancer report, funded by CDC, calls for increased study of the psychosocial needs of ovarian cancer survivors, recognizing the high rates of depression, anxiety, and distress. Up to 60% of lung cancer survivors also experience high levels of distress. Both ovarian and lung cancer patients have relatively low five-year survival rates (45% and 17%, respectively). Therefore, CDC believes that it is imperative to develop a greater understanding about the types of psychosocial services they receive during their course of treatment and follow-up care. CDC proposes a new information collection to examine the extent to which disparities exist in distress screening and follow-up among cancer treatment facilities and programs across the country. The study will include 50 healthcare facilities. From these facilities, we will request existing electronic health records (EHR) of 2,000 lung and ovarian cancer survivors. Data elements collected will include patient demographic information, cancer diagnosis and treatment, experience with distress screening and follow-up care, and medical service utilization. Patient names, addresses, birth dates and Social Security Numbers will not be collected. Staff from twelve of the 50 participating healthcare facilities will be invited to participate in an interview and focus group to provide contextual understanding about facilitators and barriers to distress screening and followup processes. This is a one-time data collection. Results of this study will provide CDC’s National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) with information to assist with the development of information, resources, technical assistance, and future evidence-based interventions to improve the quality of life of lung and ovarian cancer survivors. Summative findings will be used to evaluate the need to help with policy, systems, or environmental changes that may enhance the landscape of quality of life services for cancer survivors in communities at large.

Proposed Project

    Study on Disparities in Distress Screening among Lung and Ovarian 
Cancer--New--National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health 
Promotion (NCCDPHP) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Within the cancer treatment community, interest in the psychosocial 
impacts of cancer diagnosis and treatment is increasing. These 
psychosocial impacts are wide ranging and include not only anxiety 
related to the illness and treatment side effects such as pain, fatigue 
and cognition, but also stress related to nonmedical issues such as 
family relationships, financial hardship, social stressors (e.g.

cancer survivors, recognizing the high rates of depression, anxiety, 
and distress. Up to 60% of lung cancer survivors also experience high
