an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections

that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential
nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Businesses or other forprofits; Not-for-profit institutions;

Annual Burden Hours: 1,251.
Needs and Uses: The 2001 National
Defense Authorization Act contains
specific sections addressing patient
safety in military and veterans’ health
care systems. This legislation states that
the Secretary of Defense shall establish
a patient care error reporting and
management system to study
occurrences of errors in patient care and
that one purpose of the system should
be to ‘‘identify systemic factors that are
associated with such occurrences’’ and
‘‘to provide for action to be taken to
correct the identified systemic factors’’
(Sec. 754, items b2 and b3). In addition,
the legislation states that the Secretary
shall ‘‘continue research and
development investments to improve
communication, coordination, and team
work in the provision of health care’’
(Sec. 754, item d4).
In its ongoing response to this
legislation and in support of its mission
to ‘‘promote a culture of safety to
eliminate preventable patient harm by
engaging, educating and equipping
patient-care teams to institutionalize
evidence-based safe practices,’’ the DoD
Patient Safety Program plans to field the
DoD Patient Safety Culture Survey. The
Culture Survey is based on the
Department of Health and Human
Services’ Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality’s validated survey
instrument. The survey obtains Military
Health System staff opinions on patient
safety issues such as teamwork,
communications, medical error
occurrence and response, error
