Request 

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality, Department of Health and 

Human Services. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

intention of the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) allow the proposed 

information collection project: ‘‘Pilot 

Study of Proposed Nursing Home 

Survey on Resident Safety.’’ In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–

13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), AHRQ 

invites the public to comment on this 

proposed information collection. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on December 12th, 2006 and 

allowed 60 days for public comment. No 

public comments were received. The 

purpose of this notice is to allow an 

additional 30 days for public comment. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by March 15, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted to: Doris Lefkowitz,

Doris Lefkowitz, AHRQ, Reports 

Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477. 

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
