Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 16 / Thursday, January 26, 2017 / Notices

is to conduct a survey of Veterans to
capture novel predictors of hospital
admission and identify clusters of
complex patients based on survey- and
claims-based covariates. This study
provides the first empirical application
of the Cycle of Complexity conceptual
model that the study team developed
and recently published, which
postulates that patient complexity
represents more than having multiple
chronic conditions. It is critical to
evaluate whether complexity defined on
the basis of survey-based and claimsbased covariates is more predictive than
diagnosis of multiple chronic conditions
based on claims data alone.
The proposed patient survey is
designed to measure a broad range of
self-reported patient factors that
increase Veterans’ risk for being
admitted to hospital, including life
stressors, perceived locus of control,
grit, resilience, functional status, social
support and loneliness, sleep problems,
symptoms, food insecurity, and patient
activation. This survey will help us
understand, for the first time, the extent
to which self-reported factors can
markedly improve prediction of patient
risk for hospital admission, which may
help the PACT Demonstration Lab
Coordinating Center Intelligence
improve its risk prediction models. This
project may also identify patientreported outcomes (PROs) that can be
effectively integrated into routine VA
clinical practice, as the VA begins to
explore inclusion of PROs into the VA
electronic health record. We are
requesting approval to conduct this
survey to a nationally representative
sample of 10,000 patients who obtain
primary care in VA because there are no
extant VA surveys that capture the range
of patient factors that we propose to
collect, which are not available in VA
administrative databases. If we did not
capture these patient factors, our risk
prediction analysis might be incorrect or
biased.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Annual Burden:
PACT: Veteran’s Health and WellBeing Survey—2500.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent:
PACT: Veteran’s Health and WellBeing Survey—30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Annual Responses:
PACT: Veteran’s Health and WellBeing Survey—5,000.
