Abstract: This request is for a new pretest data collection of an approved data collection (OMB No. 0920-0212, exp. 04/30/2014), the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS), to conduct a pretest of the ambulatory component of the NHCS. Currently, the NHCS collects inpatient data from non-Federal noninstitutional hospitals with six or more beds staffed for inpatient use. Hospital ambulatory data and data from freestanding ambulatory surgery centers (FSASCs) are currently collected through the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) (OMB No. 0920-0278, expires 12/31/2014). NHCS will also collect emergency department (ED) data previously collected through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). The proposed new pretest will test the feasibility of integrating NHAMCS and DAWN into the NHCS, as well as the collection of new data elements related to drug- and mental illness-related ED visits and colorectal cancer screening at ambulatory surgery visits. New sampling and data collection methods will be tested.
