When changes to the electronic medical records portion of this study are beginning to be considered, they should be shared with OMB to ensure coordination among the various Health IT initiatives (i.e., prior to submission of a change package to ROCIS).
Prior terms continue: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.

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 continue data collection on electronic medical record (EMR) with a five-fold increase in sample size starting in 2010. Increasing the sample size for the EMR mail survey allows the rate of EMR use to be estimated at the state level. This ICR is being submitted under Section 1512 of the American Recoveryand and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5.

42 USC 242K
