This table should be expanded to included any available data demonstrating variances in length of stay and discharge practices for subacute care. In addition, AHCPR should be prepared to present such data for all remaining FIs; 2) AHCPR should be prepared to discuss the validity of the ICD-9-CM codes on claims and how they rela to information in the medical record. AHCPR may wish to discuss the results of a study it has conducted on hospital coding practices; and 3) though the pilot's nonresponse was low, AHCPR should discuss its plans to evaluate nonresponse bias. OMB waives publication of the Federal Register notice for the next submission, and will complete its review within 30 days to allow AHCPR to field this effort before the end of the fiscal year.
