Approved for use through 9/94 under the conditions that: 1) ASPE conducts a sampled validation of utilization data from the main study, accessing Medicare/Medicaid claims data from the Common Working File, files of MMIS-participating States, the Tape-to-Tape project, etc. Th sample validation should be as representative and cover as many of the ten States as is feasible and statistically necessary. A description this validation component of the study should be forwarded to OMB no later than 8/93; and 2) since this study at best measures the overall impact of general regulatory schemes on quality of care, rather th the impact of specific program characteristics on client satisfaction and quality of care, this study's results will be inadequate in fully informing detailed policy development, statutory or administrative. In the FY 1994 HHS Information Resources Management Plan, ASPE outlines a follow-up research plan for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data at the level of specificity necessary to support comprehensive evaluation of the service delivery by board and care homes an impact on clients. This approval incorporates the amendments dated June 16, 1993, as submitted by ASPE's contractor.
