file format. Survey data files must
conform to the data file layout
specifications provided by the HCBS–
CAHPS Database. Since the unit of
analysis is at the program level,
submitters will upload one data file per
program. Once a data file is uploaded
the file will be automatically checked to
ensure it conforms to the specifications
and a data file status report will be
produced and made available to the
submitter. Submitters will review each
report and will be expected to correct
any errors in their data file and resubmit
if necessary. It will take about one hour
to submit the data for each program. The
total burden is estimated to be 63 hours
annually.

Background and Brief Description
The purpose of this survey is to
follow-up on formative research (OMB
Control Number 0920–1154), which
assessed the knowledge, attitudes,
practices and perceived provider-level
barriers to appropriate antibiotic
prescribing in a sample of health care
providers in nursing homes. This survey
was developed building upon
foundational work previously
completed. The questions were
originally pre-tested among a select
group (n=9) of prescribers recruited
from the participating corporations to
both obtain responses, as well as
performing cognitive assessment to
ensure clarity and robustness of content.
The preliminary findings suggested
that the questions presented were clear
and correctly understood and that the
topics covered were meaningful. The
inclusion of length of time in practice
was specifically relevant as preliminary
findings from the interviews, albeit
limited, suggest that a prescriber’s
approach and attitudes surrounding
antibiotic prescribing may be impacted
by professional tenure. Specifically,
respondents described that the longer a
prescriber had been in practice, the
more reluctant they were to modify their
prescribing behaviors.
General findings consistently centered
on the variability in nurse/provider
communication. Themes of poor
communication encompassed multiple
elements. Key themes included: Poor
structure of information sharing, the
role of gatekeepers to the prescriber,
insufficient or otherwise irrelevant
detail, and an absence of therapy
recommendation from the nurses.
Additionally, respondents described the
physical environment/geographic
context that contributed to possible
instances of over-prescribing: Limited
availability of timely or rapid test
laboratory results, sites with affiliated
labs that are closed on the weekends
(thus requiring a staff member to drive
a sample multiple hours to the nearest
hospital), limited antibiotic options in
the facility’s Emergency Kit (from which
staff frequently draw when starting a
prescription).
The current phase incorporates the
findings from previous exploratory work
and aims to address the quality of
communication between the nurses and
prescribers while also respecting the
rational for initial antibiotic initiation.
As the decision to initiate an antibiotic
prescription is largely influenced by
factors beyond the scope of this project,
the current study targeted the role of the
antibiotic follow-up to engage the
prescriber post-prescription to reassess
