SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: TRICARE Inpatient 

Satisfaction Survey (TRISS); OMB 

Control Number: 0720–TRSS. 

Type of Request: New. 

Number of Respondents: 63,600 

(60,600 TRISS Adult; 3,000 TRISS 

Child). 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 63,600. 

Average Burden per Response: 7 

minutes for TRISS Adult; 15 minutes for 

TRISS Child. 

Annual Burden Hours: 7,820. 

Needs and Uses: The Defense Health 

Affairs administers the TRISS surveys 

(TRISS Adult and TRISS Child) to 

understand perceptions of inpatient care 

among Military Health System users. 

The survey instruments adhere 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 selfreported 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. 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 Facility (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. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
