SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

‘‘Pilot Study of Proposed Nursing Home 

Survey on Resident Safety’’

The activity is an expansion and 

refinement of AHRQ’s Hospital Survey 

on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) 

which was developed and released to 

the public for use in November 2004. 

This proposed new tool is based on the 

HSOPSC but also contains new and 

revised items as well as dimensions that 

more accurately apply to the nursing 

home setting. The instrument will be 

pilot tested with staff in 40 nursing 

homes. The data collected will be 

analyzed to determine the psychometric 

properties of the survey’s items and 

dimensions and provide information for 

the revision and shortening of the final 

survey based on an assessment of its 

reliability and construct validity. The 

final survey will be made publicly 

available to enable nursing homes to 

assess their resident safety culture. 

Methods of Collection 

A purposive sample of 40 nursing 

homes will be recruited and selected. 

These nursing homes will represent a 

distribution of bed size, nature of 

ownership (non-profit/for-profit), 

urbanicity (urban/rural), and geographic 

region of the United States. Recruited 

nursing homes will be allocated to each 

category in numbers roughly 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 13, 2007 / Notices 6731 

proportionate to the national 

distribution of homes in each category. 

All employees, contractors and 

agency staff in all job classes in nursing 

homes with up to 200 employees will be 

asked to respond to the survey. In 

nursing homes with more than 200 

employees, a random sample of 200 

employees will be selected. Since not all 

nursing home staff have access to or are 

familiar with e-mail or the internet, 

paper surveys will be administered. 

Standard non-response follow-up 

techniques such as reminder postcards 

and distribution of a second survey will 

be used. Individuals and organizations 

contacted will be assured of the 

confidentiality of their replies under 

Section 924(c) of the Healthcare 

Research and Quality Act of 1999. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

The survey will be distributed to 

approximately 5,500 nursing home 

employees, with a target response rate of 

70%, or 3,850 returned surveys. 

Respondents should take approximately 

15 minutes to complete the survey. 

Therefore, we estimate that the 

respondent burden for completing the 

survey will be 963 hours (3,850 

completes multiplied by 0.25 hours per 

completed survey).

Estimated Annual Costs to the Federal 

Government 

The total cost to the Government for 

developing this survey is approximately 

$319,000, and is being funded solely by 

AHRQ. This estimate includes the costs 

of a background literature review, 

survey development, cognitive testing, 

pilot data collection, data analysis, and 

preparation of final deliverables and 

reports. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with the above-cited 

Paperwork Reduction Act legislation, 

comments on AHRQ’s information 

collection are requested with regard to 

any of the following: (a) Whether the 

proposed collection of infomation is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

AHRQ health care research and health 

care information dissemination 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of AHRQ’s estimate of 

burden (including hours and costs) of 

the proposed collection(s) of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information upon the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and 

included in the Agency’s subsequent 

request for OMB approval of the 

proposed information collection. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public period. 

Dated: January 23, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

‘‘Development of an Electronic System 

for Reporting Medication Errors and 

Adverse Drug Events in Primary Care 

Practice (MEADERS)’’

The project is being conducted in 

response to an AHRQ RFP entitled 

‘‘Resource Center for Primary Care 

Practice-Based Research Networks 

(PBRNs)’’ (issued under Contract 290–

88–0008). 

In response to a proposed 

modification to AHRQ contract no. 

290.02.0008, the PBRN Resource Center 

is proposing to assist AHRQ in its 

continued commitment to assessing the 

status and capabilities of its funded 

PBRNs and making available to them 

the tools and resources necessary to 

improve the quality of care they 

provide. Through the modification of 

this contract, the PBRN Resource Center 

will develop and make available an 

electronic system for reporting 

medication errors and adverse drug 

events that occur in outpatient 

physician practices of selected PBRNs to 

their own practices for quality 

improvement purposes and to the Food 

and Drug Administration (FDA). 

The landmark Harvard Medical 

Practice Study was published in 1991 

and stated that 98,000 Americans die 

each year from medical errors.1

Although the exact figure has been 

disputed, no one disputes the fact that 

too many Americans are injured 

unnecessarily by medical mistakes that 

could be avoided.2–3 Another study 

performed by the Department of 

Veterans Affairs suggests that in one out 

of every 10,000 hospitalizations, a 

patient dies due directly to a medical 

error.4
