Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 09/01/1994
	Date Received in OIRA: 08/22/1994
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 9/96 with the understanding that this effort is preliminary in nature and its methodology (in particular, reliance on a potentially unrepresentative subset of Medicare fiscal interme- diaries for case selection) may not be an appropriate sampling approac for future outcomes evaluations. As discussed in its response to OMB concerns dated 8/11/94, AHCPR notes the wide variation between fiscal intermediaries for discharge disposition and limitations in Medicare discharge data. In addition, AHCPR notes existing limitations in the use of ICD-9 administrative data, particularly for comorbidities and complications. Although AHCPR will validate these data using medical records, persistent discrepencies in these data could confound the study's results. OMB expects that: 1) AHCPR thoroughly will caveat dissemination of these data with explanations of its limitations; and 2) methodologies presented in future outcomes studies will reflect AHCPR's enhanced understanding from this study of data limitations and variances between hospitals in discharge practices.
