Terms of Clearance: NCHS and OMB note that, should sufficient funding become available, it would be useful to add a quality assurance component that includes re-abstraction of medical records in the field. OMB also requests that NCHS explore more systematically the implications of the under-representation of larger, higher volume practices on the reported results (e.g., trends in care), and within six months, discuss your findings with our study design experts whether weighting might be in order.

Abstract: Data collected from office-based physicians, and community health center providers, concerning patient visits are aggregated to national statistics. This request will permit NAMCS to collect again in 2009 electronic medical record data that had been approved for collection in 2008. In addition, a pretest examining laboratory values on tests commonly ordered to monitor cardiovascular fitness, diabetes management, and diabetes detection is also requested.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The overall burden for the revised project is decreased due to: (1) a more complete review of the documents, (2) the time to complete them has changed, and (3) a slightly different calculation method that took into account the 2006 data as proxies for physician/provider responses. However, some forms are new or have an increase in burden.
