AoA’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
The Certification on Maintenance of
Effort under Title III and Certification of
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program
Expenditures provides statutorily
required information regarding State’s
contribution to programs funded under
the Older Americans Act and
conformance with legislative
requirements, pertinent Federal
regulations and other applicable
instructions and guidelines issued by
Administration on Aging (AoA). This
information will be used for Federal
oversight of Title III Programs and Title
VII Ombudsman Program expenditures.
AoA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows: 56
State Agencies on Aging respond
annually which should be an average
burden of one half (1⁄2) hour per State
agency per year or a total of twentyeight hours for all State agencies
annually. The proposed data collection
tools may be found on the AoA Web site
for review at http://www.aoa.gov/

Proposed Project
The National Survey of Prison
Healthcare (NSPH) — New—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request includes data
collection from identified respondents
at the Department of Corrections within
each state in the United States and the
Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Few national level data exist
concerning the administration of health
care services in correctional facilities in
the United States. National-level data
from the health care providers within
prison systems are important for a
myriad of purposes related to improving
prison health and health care. To
remedy this gap in knowledge regarding
the capacity of prison facilities to
deliver medical and mental health
services, NCHS in partnership with the
Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) plans
to conduct the National Survey of

PO 00000

Prison Healthcare (NSPH). This
collection aims to: provide an overall
picture of the global structure of
healthcare services in prisons in the
United States; close gaps in available
information about availability, location
and capacity of healthcare services
provided to inmates; and identify extent
to which electronic medical records are
utilized within the correctional
healthcare system.
NSPH will be a mail survey to a
prison official in the Department of
Corrections (DOC) within each of the 50
States and Federal Bureau of Prisons
(BOP) and will seek facility-level
information on the types of healthcare
services delivered and the mechanisms
used to deliver these services. Following
a small pilot test of the questionnaire
with 9 prison officials, NSPH will be
administered in Fall 2011.
NSPH will collect data on healthcare
services including the extent to which
services are contracted; staffing;
locations (i.e., on- or off-site) of
healthcare services and specialty
healthcare services; and the types of
medical, dental, mental health, and
pharmaceutical services provided to
inmates. NSPH will collect data on
intake physical and mental health
assessments practices for inmates;
credentials of staff performing
screenings; vaccinations against major
infectious diseases; and smoking
allowances. Discharge planning data
collected includes the availability of
bridge medications, Medicaid reenrollment processes, and the number
of inmates with mental illness linked to
housing prior to release. NSPH will also
collect data on how DOCs maintain
health records including the format
(paper and/or electronic) of specific
types of health records.
Potential users of the data collected
through NSPH are policy makers,
correctional healthcare researchers,
mental health researchers, and
corrections administrators. Valid and
current data on infrastructure, capacity
and utilization of healthcare are
essential to supporting research and
studying the effects of changes in
correctional healthcare. Other potential
users of these data include universities,
research organizations, many in the
private sector, foundations, and a
variety of users in the print media.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
