RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MCPSS 2007
The final instrument recommended for 2007 is provided in Attachment 1. The proposed 2007survey has a total of 67 items. This is slightly below the number of items included on the 2006 survey (76 items).
During the 2006 administration, CMS continued to test and refine the survey instrument for 2007.
For the 2007 survey, we have deleted a few questions that were identified as referring to processes that are not under the control of the contractor; we have also deleted a few questions that providers and experts thought as redundant; a few questions were added to help identify the types of services that are being used by providers, as well as services providers would like to see in the future; a few questions were added to measure satisfaction with the Contractors processes; and some questions were reworded to improve clarity. While the 2007 questionnaire is 9 questions shorter than the 2006 survey, the net effect on length of the survey is minimal. Hence we are not submitting any modifications to the burden estimate.
