SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Project

Voluntary Customer Surveys of

‘‘Partners’’ for the Agency for Healthcare

Research and Quality.

In response to Executive Order 12862,

the Agency for Healthcare Research and

Quality (AHRQ) plans to conduct

voluntary customer surveys of

‘‘partners’’ to identify how well AHRQ

is performing its functions with its

partners and to use this information to

determine the kind and quality of

services they like and expect, their level

of satisfaction with existing services,

and to implement improvements where

feasible and practical.

AHRQ partners are typically health

care payers, plans, practitioners and

providers, researchers, professional

associations, AHRQ data suppliers, and

State and local governments, as well as

persons or entities that provide service

to the public for AHRQ, e.g.,

dissemination of AHRQ publications by

a ‘‘middle man’’ such as a professional

society.

Partner surveys to be conducted by

AHRQ may include surveys of research

grantees to measure satisfaction with

technical assistance received from

AHRQ. The questions asked may

include whether there is a need for

extended hours to answer inquiries

related to grant applications or for the

development of a comprehensive

manual on submission of grant

applications. In addition, AHRQ wants

to survey individual recipients of

training grants to evaluate their

experience with AHRQ training grant

programs. Similarly, the Office of Health

Care Information (OHCI) is proposing to

survey researchers to determine how

AHRQ could better serve the research

community. Results of these surveys

will be used to assess and redirect

resources and efforts needed to improve

services.

Method of Collection

The data will be collected using a

combination of preferred methodologies

appropriate to each survey. These

methodologies are:

• Mail and telephone surveys;

• Electronic technologies; and

• Focus groups.

The estimated annual hour burden is

as follows:

Type of survey Number of

respondents

Average burden/response

in minutes

Total hours

of burden

Mail/Telephone Surveys/Electronic Technologies ............................................................................... 9,400 20 3,133.3

Focus Groups ...................................................................................................................................... 700 97.7 1140

Totals ............................................................................................................................................ 10,100 25.4 4,273.3

Request for Comments

In accordance with the above cited

Paperwork Reduction Act legislation,

comments on this AHRQ information

collection proposals are requested with

regard to any of the following: (a)

Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of functions of the Agency,

including whether the information will

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of

the Agency’s estimate of burden

(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection 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 request for OMB approval of the

proposed information collection. All

comments will become a matter of

public record. Copies of the proposed

collection plans and can be obtained

from the AHRQ Reports Clearance

Officer (see above).

Dated: December 10, 2001.
