In light of the
health status of this collections targeted treatment group, HCFA
should be concerned about non response, premature death, etc. and
have alternative means for collecting beneficiary data. HCFA should
consider developing a proxy instrument to be completed by a
credible source (though admittedly this sample generally will not
have family caregivers.)
