DESIGN NOTES
The purpose of HH4 is to determine if the Home Health Provider selected

earlier (ex: at HH2, HH19 or in ST/NS) works for an organization. If so,

HH4-WORKSFOR = 1/OrganizationGiven, we will then probe for the name

of the organization at the HH5 provider roster. The name of the

organization selected at HH5 will then be the Provider that will get

referenced in the remaining event detail questions in HH.


11:21:56 AM Thursday, February 26, 2009

Page 14 of 92

HH4
The response to HH4 is stored on HERO which is linked to the Home
Health Event. Since the Home Health event records are generated at BOX
HH1AA, the response to HH4 - WORKSFOR will need to be copied to the
HERO generated at BOX HH1AA.

IF HH4 - WORKSFOR = 1/OrganizationGiven, SET HOME HEALTH
PROVIDER FOR THIS VISIT TO THE HOME HEALTH ORGANIZATION
SELECTED AT HH5 AND GO TO HH6 - HHPLACE ( HHQ1080 ).
ELSE SET HOME HEALTH PROVIDER FOR THIS VISIT TO THE FIRST
PROVIDER SELECTED AND GO TO BOX HH1BB - (HHQ1102 ).

ASSIGNMENTS
Home Health event details are stored on PROV, EVNT and HERO.

If there is an existing EVNT where EVNT.EVNTTYPE = 'HP' or 'HF' and

EVNT.EVNTPROV=this PROV.PROVNUM, we will collect current round Home Health

event details linked to this existing EVNT. Check against all EVNT records, including 

EVNTs where EVNT.EVNTDFLG = 1/Yes.

However, if an existing home health EVNT does not exist for this provider, we will create a

new EVNT.

HH Provider Roster details will be collected on PROV:

PROV key = PROV.PROVBASE + PROV.PROVNUM

PROV.PROVNUM = Number of Provider selected at HH5, if HH2 or HH19 provider worked

for an organization and HH5 asked, otherwise at HH2 or HH19.

Even t details will be collected on EVNT and HERO:

EVNT key = EVNT.EVNTBASE + EVNT.EVNTNUM

EVNT.EVNTNUM = Number of home health EVNT idenitified or created in HH.

HERO key = HERO.HEROBASE + HERO.HEROEVNT + HERO.HERORND

HERO.HEROEVNT = EVNT.EVNTNUM of home health EVNT identified or created in HH.

HERO.HERORND = current round.

If creating a new EVNT for this Home Health visit:

BASE.LASTEVNT holds the highest EVNT.EVNTNUM prior to fielding cases. Not all

EVNT records are fielded. The first time an EVNT record is generated in the field,

BASE.LASTEVNT should be >= to the highest EVNT.EVNTNUM fielded. The new

EVNT.EVNTNUM should be calculated based on BASE.LASTEVNT + 001. Each time an

EVNT record is generated in the field, BASE.LASTEVNT will be updated to match the

highest EVNT.EVNTNUM in the field. Therefore, each time an EVNT record is generated in

the field, the new EVNT.EVNTNUM should be calculated based on BASE.LASTEVNT +

001. See detailed instructions below.
Create a current round HERO for this HH Event. The response to HH4 - WORKSFOR
should be copied to this HERO.WORKSFOR.
Set additional variables as specified below:
EVNTNUM	

If adding a new EVNT, set new EVNT.EVNTNUM =
BASE.LASTEVNT + 001. This assumes that
BASE.LASTEVNT is
incremented each time an EVNT record is generated
in the field.

EVNTRNDC	

If adding a new EVNT, set EVNT.EVNTRNDC =
current round.

LASTEVNT

If adding a new EVNT, once new EVNT record is

If adding a new EVNT, if HH4 - WORKSFOR =

EVNT.EVNTPROV=PROV.PROVNUM of provider

DESIGN NOTES
If the SP belongs to a managed care plan (HMO), we ask each provider
selected/added if the provider is associated with an HMO. This question,
which is asked throughout utilization and cost series, is only asked once
in the study for each provider. The response is never updated. (this
design may change in the future).
If the SP belongs to an HMO, and we have not asked this question for this
provider, HMOASSOC=empty, you are routed to HMOASSOC. If we have
already asked this question about this provider, and the provider
responded to HMOASSOC=No, DK or RF, you are routed to
HMOREFER, skipping HMOASSOC, to determine if the SP was referred
to this provider by their HMO.
If SP does not belong to an HMO or this provider already reported being
associated with the HMO, you skip HMOASSOC and HMOREFER.

Edit #1:

NOTE: PROV.HHFRELAT may have already been asked prior to

HH21. HH21 allows updates to HHFRELAT. The purpose of this

edit is to alert the interviewer when the relationship code changes.

If PROV.HHFRELAT was previously collected prior to HH21, the

current response to HH21 - HHFRELAT should match the previously

collected response.

If not true, display message: "YOU HAVE UPDATED THE
