Board Meeting Agenda
SUMMARY:
52471
Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety
Culture Database
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine
called for health care organizations to
develop a ‘‘culture of safety’’ such that
their workforce and processes focus on
improving the reliability and safety of
care for patients (IOM, 1999; To Err is
Human: Building a Safer Health
System). To respond to the need for
tools to assess patient safety culture in
health care, AHRQ developed and pilot
tested the Nursing Home Survey on
Patient Safety Culture with OMB
approval (OMB NO. 0935–0132;
Approved July 5, 2007).
The survey is designed to enable
nursing homes to assess provider and
staff perspectives about patient safety
issues, medical error, and error
reporting and includes 42 items that
measure 12 composites of patient safety
culture. AHRQ made the survey
publicly available along with a Survey
User’s Guide and other toolkit materials
in November 2008 on the AHRQ
website.
The AHRQ Nursing Home SOPS
Database consists of data from the
AHRQ Nursing Home Survey on Patient
Safety Culture. Nursing homes in the
U.S. can voluntarily submit data from
the survey to AHRQ through its
contractor, Westat. The Nursing Home
SOPS Database (OMB NO. 0935–0195,
last approved on November 5, 2018) was
developed by AHRQ in 2011 in
response to requests from nursing
E:\FR\FM\21SEN1.SGM
21SEN1
52472
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 21, 2021 / Notices
homes interested in viewing their
organizations’ patient safety culture
survey results. Those organizations
submitting data receive a feedback
report, as well as a report on the
aggregated de-identified findings of the
other nursing homes submitting data.
These reports are used to assist nursing
home staff in their efforts to improve
patient safety culture in their
organizations.
Rationale for the information
collection. The Nursing Home SOPS and
Nursing Home SOPS Database support
AHRQ’s goals of promoting
improvements in the quality and safety
of health care in nursing home settings.
The survey, toolkit materials, and
database results are all made publicly
available on AHRQ’s website. Technical
assistance is provided by AHRQ through
its contractor at no charge to nursing
homes, to facilitate the use of these
materials for nursing home patient
safety and quality improvement.
This database:
(1) Presents results from nursing
homes that voluntarily submit their
data,
(2) Provides data to nursing homes to
facilitate internal assessment and
learning in the patient safety
improvement process, and
(3) Provides supplemental
information to help nursing homes
identify their strengths and areas with
potential for improvement in patient
safety culture.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Westat,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
health care and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to surveys and
database development. 42 U.S.C
299a(a)(1) and (8).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goal of this project the
following activities and data collections
will be implemented:
(1) Eligibility and Registration Form—
The nursing home (or parent
organization) point-of-contact (POC)
completes a number of data submission
steps and forms, beginning with the
completion of an online Eligibility and
Registration Form. The purpose of this
form is to collect basic demographic
information about the nursing home and
initiate the registration process.
(2) Data Use Agreement—The
purpose of the data use agreement,
completed by the nursing home POC, is
to state how data submitted by nursing
homes will be used and provides
privacy assurances.
(3) Nursing Home Site Information
Form—The purpose of the site
information form, completed by the
nursing home POC, is to collect
background characteristics of the
nursing home. This information will be
used to analyze data collected with the
Nursing Home SOPS survey.
(4) Data File(s) Submission—POCs
upload their data file(s) using the data
file specifications, to ensure that users
submit standardized and consistent data
in the way variables are named, coded
and formatted. The number of
submissions to the database is likely to
vary each year because nursing homes
do not administer the survey and submit
data every year. Data submission is
typically handled by one POC who is
either a corporate level health care
manager for a Quality Improvement
Organization (QIO), a survey vendor
who contracts with a nursing home to
collect their data, or a nursing home
Director of Nursing or nurse manager.
POCs submit data on behalf of 3 nursing
homes, on average, because many
nursing homes are part of a QIO or
larger nursing home or health system
that includes many nursing home sites,
or the POC is a vendor that is submitting
data for multiple nursing homes.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents’ time to participate in the
database. An estimated 40 POCs, each
representing an average of 3 individual
nursing homes each, will complete the
database submission steps and forms.
Each POC will submit the following:
• Eligibility and registration form
(completion is estimated to take about 3
minutes).
• Data Use Agreement (completion is
estimated to take about 3 minutes).
• Nursing Home Site Information
Form (completion is estimated to take
about 5 minutes).
• Survey data submission will take an
average of one hour.
The total annual burden hours are
estimated to be 54 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the
respondents’ time to submit their data.
The cost burden is estimated to be
$2,509 annually.

Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture Database
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine called for health care
organizations to develop a ``culture of safety'' such that their
workforce and processes focus on improving the reliability and safety
of care for patients (IOM, 1999; To Err is Human: Building a Safer

Nursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culture with OMB approval (OMB

The survey is designed to enable nursing homes to assess provider
and staff perspectives about patient safety issues, medical error, and
