SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Project khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES AHRQ’s National Nursing Home COVID–19 Coordinating Center As of February 3, 2022, nursing homes have reported 902,964 confirmed cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV–2) infection and coronavirus disease since 2019 (COVID–19), resulting in over 147,000 COVID–19-related deaths The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has distributed funds to nursing homes and launched several initiatives to improve nursing home safety and infection control. AHRQ’s National Nursing Home COVID–19 Action Network (https://www.ahrq.gov/ nursing-home/about/) (the Network) is a cornerstone of HHS’s response, intended to provide training and assistance to nursing homes on best practices to minimize transmission of SARS–CoV–2. The Network expands AHRQ’s programmatic efforts to address quality and safety in long-term care, and aligns with other agency efforts to provide COVID–19 guidance to nursing homes. As the pandemic continues, nursing homes require easy access and implementation support for up-to-date best practices on SARS–CoV–2 infection control, COVID–19 care and management, and safety measures to protect residents and staff. AHRQ’s National Nursing Home COVID–19 Coordinating Center plays a complementary role to the Network, serving as a bridge between AHRQ’s Network initiatives and the nursing home quality improvement (QI) community. The Coordinating Center is tasked with (1) coordinating engagement with scientific and policy stakeholders to identify safety needs and best practices, (2) ensuring coordinated development and dissemination of QI tools and other resources, and (3) assessing the effectiveness of the Network in providing training and mentorship to support nursing homes in responding to the COVID–19 pandemic. As part of the Coordinating Center activities, AHRQ seeks to conduct an assessment of whether and how the Network activities aided the nursing homes’ efforts to mitigate the challenges posed by the COVID–19 pandemic. The goals of the performance assessment are to: 1. Assess the reach, retention, and engagement of the Network; VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:23 Feb 25, 2022 Jkt 256001 2. study the implementation approach, gaps and barriers; 3. study the long-term impact, sustainability, and replicability of the training program and Network activities. This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its Coordinating Center contractor, NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC), pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct and support training and technical assistance on health care and on systems for the delivery of such care. 42 U.S.C. 299a. Method of Collection To further achieve the goals of this performance assessment, AHRQ is requesting OMB approval for new data collection. More specifically, the new data collection activities intend to collect systematic information from nursing homes on the following: • Motivations for participation and non-participation in the Network • Context of participation (including state and local context, and participation in other COVID–19 related-initiatives) • Perceptions on recruitment, engagement, and retention, including facilitators and barriers of engagement and retention • Perceptions on the Network training and mentorship resources, including access to and utility of the Network training and resources • Gaps in knowledge, skills, and resources required for identifying residents and staff infected with COVID–19 • Impacts on the prevention and spread of SARS-CoV–2, implementation of best practice safety measures; improvement of quality of care for residents with mild and asymptomatic cases; and reduction of social isolation for residents, families, and staff The primary data collection includes the following activities: • Survey of all participating nursing homes (approximately 8,308) and a 50% representative sample of nonparticipating nursing homes (approximately 2,782) eligible for the Provider Relief Fund. Separate survey instruments will be used for network participants (‘‘Participant Survey’’) and non-participants (‘‘Non-Participant Survey’’). The Participant Survey will be conducted primarily via a secure web-based platform. The NonParticipant Survey will be conducted via web and telephone. • Key informant interviews with up to 96 individuals from 32 nursing homes participating in the Network across all assessment domains, PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11075 conducted virtually on a secure platform. Information collected will inform whether and how the Network activities aided the nursing homes’ efforts to mitigate the challenges posed by the COVID–19 pandemic. This data collection effort will also provide information on why nursing homes may not have been able to participate in the Network (Non-Participant Survey). Findings from the assessment will allow AHRQ to: • Assess the Network’s reach and the effectiveness of the retention and engagement strategies; • Study implementation of the Network’s training sessions, mentorship and technical assistance activities, and dissemination of the safety and quality improvement tools; • Study the Network’s impact on ensuring availability of protective equipment, rapid identification of nursing home residents and staff infected with SARS–CoV–2, entry and transmission of COVID–19, and improving health outcomes; and • Study the long-term impact, sustainability, and replicability of the training program and Network activities to address other patient safety and quality improvement priorities. Estimated Annual Respondent Burden Survey. The nursing home survey will have two survey instruments: —Participant Survey for nursing home facilities that participated in the Network —Non-Participant Survey for nursing homes that did not participate in the Network For the Participant Survey we expect that 1,662 participants (20% response rate) will agree to participate on behalf of their facilities and that the survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. For the Non-Participant Survey, we expect that 556 participants will agree to participate (20% response rate) on behalf of their facilities and that the survey will take about 5 minutes to complete. This estimate is based on prior provider survey experience and the response rate for the Customer Satisfaction survey which was approximately 20%. Key Informant Interviews. Key informant interviews will be conducted with up to 32 nursing homes (up to 3 staff from each nursing home in each interview, for a total of 96 staff) involved in the Network. All interviews are expected to last 60 minutes, including time for respondents to provide verbal consent for participation and ask any questions at the start.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Project

AHRQ's National Nursing Home COVID-19 Coordinating Center

    As of February 3, 2022, nursing homes have reported 902,964 
confirmed cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 
(SARS-CoV-2) infection and coronavirus disease since 2019 (COVID-19), 
resulting in over 147,000 COVID-19-related deaths The U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS) has distributed funds to nursing 
homes and launched several initiatives to improve nursing home safety 
and infection control. AHRQ's National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action 
Network (https://www.ahrq.gov/nursing-home/about/) (the 
Network) is a cornerstone of HHS's response, intended to provide 
training and assistance to nursing homes on best practices to minimize 
transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The Network expands AHRQ's programmatic 
efforts to address quality and safety in long-term care, and aligns 
with other agency efforts to provide COVID-19 guidance to nursing 
homes. As the pandemic continues, nursing homes require easy access and 
implementation support for up-to-date best practices on SARS-CoV-2 
infection control, COVID-19 care and management, and safety measures to 
protect residents and staff.
    AHRQ's National Nursing Home COVID-19 Coordinating Center plays a 
complementary role to the Network, serving as a bridge between AHRQ's 
Network initiatives and the nursing home quality improvement (QI) 
community. The Coordinating Center is tasked with (1) coordinating 
engagement with scientific and policy stakeholders to identify safety 
needs and best practices, (2) ensuring coordinated development and 
dissemination of QI tools and other resources, and (3) assessing the 
effectiveness of the Network in providing training and mentorship to 
support nursing homes in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
    As part of the Coordinating Center activities, AHRQ seeks to 
conduct an assessment of whether and how the Network activities aided 
the nursing homes' efforts to mitigate the challenges posed by the 
COVID-19 pandemic. The goals of the performance assessment are to:
    1. Assess the reach, retention, and engagement of the Network;
    2. study the implementation approach, gaps and barriers;
    3. study the long-term impact, sustainability, and replicability of 
the training program and Network activities.
    This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its Coordinating 
Center contractor, NORC at the University of Chicago (NORC), pursuant 
to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support training and 
technical assistance on health care and on systems for the delivery of 
such care. 42 U.S.C. 299a.

Method of Collection

    To further achieve the goals of this performance assessment, AHRQ 
is requesting OMB approval for new data collection. More specifically, 
the new data collection activities intend to collect systematic 
information from nursing homes on the following:
     Motivations for participation and non-participation in the 
Network
     Context of participation (including state and local 
context, and participation in other COVID-19 related-initiatives)
     Perceptions on recruitment, engagement, and retention, 
including facilitators and barriers of engagement and retention
     Perceptions on the Network training and mentorship 
resources, including access to and utility of the Network training and 
resources
     Gaps in knowledge, skills, and resources required for 
identifying residents and staff infected with COVID-19
     Impacts on the prevention and spread of SARS-CoV-2, 
implementation of best practice safety measures; improvement of quality 
of care for residents with mild and asymptomatic cases; and reduction 
of social isolation for residents, families, and staff
    The primary data collection includes the following activities:
     Survey of all participating nursing homes (approximately 
8,308) and a 50% representative sample of nonparticipating nursing 
homes (approximately 2,782) eligible for the Provider Relief Fund. 
Separate survey instruments will be used for network participants 
(``Participant Survey'') and non-participants (``Non-Participant 
Survey''). The Participant Survey will be conducted primarily via a 
secure web-based platform. The Non-Participant Survey will be conducted 
via web and telephone.
     Key informant interviews with up to 96 individuals from 32 
nursing homes participating in the Network across all assessment 
domains, conducted virtually on a secure platform.
    Information collected will inform whether and how the Network 
activities aided the nursing homes' efforts to mitigate the challenges 
posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This data collection effort will also 
provide information on why nursing homes may not have been able to 
participate in the Network (Non-Participant Survey). Findings from the 
assessment will allow AHRQ to:
     Assess the Network's reach and the effectiveness of the 
retention and engagement strategies;
     Study implementation of the Network's training sessions, 
mentorship and technical assistance activities, and dissemination of 
the safety and quality improvement tools;
     Study the Network's impact on ensuring availability of 
protective equipment, rapid identification of nursing home residents 
and staff infected with SARS-CoV-2, entry and transmission of COVID-19, 
and improving health outcomes; and
     Study the long-term impact, sustainability, and 
replicability of the training program and Network activities to address 
other patient safety and quality improvement priorities.

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden

    Survey. The nursing home survey will have two survey instruments:

--Participant Survey for nursing home facilities that participated in 
the Network
--Non-Participant Survey for nursing homes that did not participate in 
the Network
    For the Participant Survey we expect that 1,662 participants (20% 
response rate) will agree to participate on behalf of their facilities 
and that the survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. For the 
Non-Participant Survey, we expect that 556 participants will agree to 
participate (20% response rate) on behalf of their facilities and that 
the survey will take about 5 minutes to complete. This estimate is 
based on prior provider survey experience and the response rate for the 
Customer Satisfaction survey which was approximately 20%.
    Key Informant Interviews. Key informant interviews will be 
conducted with up to 32 nursing homes (up to 3 staff from each nursing 
home in each interview, for a total of 96 staff) involved in the 
Network. All interviews are expected to last 60 minutes, including time 
for respondents to provide verbal consent for participation and ask any 
questions at the start.

[[Page 11076]]

    The total annual burden hours for the survey and key informant 
interviews are estimated to be 688 hours, as shown in Exhibit 1.
