SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: TRICARE Inpatient 

Satisfaction Survey (TRISS); OMB 

Control Number: 0720–TRSS. 

Needs and Uses: The DHA 

administers the TRICARE TRISS survey 

to understand perceptions of inpatient 

care among Military Health System 

(MHS) users. The survey instrument 

adheres to the methodological and 

analytical protocols and questionnaire 

items mandated by the industry 

standard Hospital Consumer 

Assessment of Healthcare Providers and 

Systems protocol. Developed by the 

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services and the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality, the program 

provides valid and reliable self-reported 

experience ratings of inpatient 

experiences. 

As a result, the TRISS program allows 

objective and meaningful comparisons 

between hospitals, in areas that are 

important to consumers. Results are 

published online, and the public can 

view them at https://www.medicare.gov/ 

care-compare/. But perhaps most 

significantly, the comparative scores 

and findings can be used by MHS 

leadership to improve care as well as by 

beneficiaries to make informed choices. 

TRISS is designed to provide actionable 

performance feedback to improve 

overall quality of health care. The main 

goals of the TRISS are to: 

• Provide comparable data on the 

patient’s perspective on care that allows 

objective and meaningful comparisons 

between hospitals on domains that are 

important to beneficiaries. 

• Establish a uniform measure of user 

satisfaction with received healthcare 

services. 

• Public reporting of the survey 

results is designed to create incentives 

for Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) 

to improve their quality of care. 

The study population consists of 

military personnel, their family 

members, and eligible retirees and their 

family members with a recent overnight 

hospitalization. The survey is 

administered to patients after a recent 

discharge from either a MTF or a 

civilian hospital to gather information 

about their experience of the care they 

received. Data are reported quarterly to 

track trends over time. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 12,720. 

Number of Respondents: 63,600. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 63,600. 

Average Burden per Response: 12 

minutes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Naval Officers as Employees 

Survey; OMB Control Number: 0703– 

SDSU. 

Needs and Uses: The proposed survey 

is sponsored by the Navy Chief of 

Information and originates out of the 

Navy’s primary civilian public relations 

graduate education program at San 

Diego State University, where the Navy 

details public affairs officers annually in 

order to earn a master’s degree. This 

study will explore the possible 

relationship between the Navy’s digital 

communication subsidies, employeeorganization relationships (EOR), and 

diversity, equity, inclusion, and 

belongingness (DEIB) in the officer 

ranks. Additionally, findings from this 

research may advance the Navy’s 

understanding of how to use digital 

communication to improve DEIB and 

EOR in the officer corps. Only adults 

(those aged 18 years or older) are 

eligible to participate in the study. To 

get at this population, the researcher 

will study naval officers assigned to 

different types of units (e.g., surface 

ships, aviation, submarines, special 

warfare, etc.) as they represent the key 

demographic desired for this study. 

Potential respondents will be recruited 

with the assistance of public affairs 

officers at type commands (TYCOMs) 

and fleets of these units. TYCOMs and 

fleets perform administrative, 

personnel, and operational training 

functions for a ‘‘type’’ of weapon 

system.
