AGENCY:
3 There are approximately 700 authorized agents;
1,300 health centers; 6,500 hospitals; 500 medical
malpractice payers, peer review organizations, and
private accreditation organizations; and 14,200
other eligible entities, for an estimated total of
23,200 registered entities currently in attestation or
scheduled for attestation with the NPDB. However,
the reporting entities may include multiple sites
that are registered independently in the system,
thereby increasing the total number of respondents.
Given that entities will only be required to
complete attestation biennially, these estimates are
divided in half for the annualized burden hours.
