Proposed Project
Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety
Culture Database
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection. In
1999, the Institute of Medicine called
for health care organizations to develop
a ‘‘culture of safety’’ such that their

PO 00000

Frm 00013

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

workforce and processes focus on
improving the reliability and safety of
care for patients (IOM, 1999; To Err is
Human: Building a Safer Health
System). To respond to the need for
tools to assess patient safety culture in
health care, AHRQ developed and pilot
tested the Medical Office Survey on
Patient Safety Culture with OMB
approval (OMB NO.0935–0131;
Approved July 5, 2007).
The survey is designed to enable
medical offices to assess provider and
staff perspectives about patient safety
issues, medical error, and error
reporting. The survey includes 38 items
that measure 10 composites of patient
safety culture. In addition to the
composite items, 14 items measure staff
perceptions of how often medical offices
have problems exchanging information
with other settings as well as other
patient safety and quality issues. AHRQ
made the survey publicly available
along with a Survey User’s Guide and
other toolkit materials in December,
2008 on the AHRQ website (located at
https://www.ahrq.gov/sops/qualitypatient-safety/patientsafetyculture/
medical-office/index.html).
The AHRQ Medical Office SOPS
Database consists of data from the
AHRQ Medical Office Survey on Patient
Safety Culture and may include
reportable, non-required supplemental
items. Medical offices in the U.S. can
voluntarily submit data from the survey
to AHRQ, through its contractor, Westat.
The Medical Office SOPS Database
(OMB NO. 0935–0196, last approved on
August 25, 2015) was developed by
AHRQ in 2011 in response to requests
from medical offices interested in
tracking their own survey results. Those
organizations submitting data receive a
feedback report, as well as a report of
the aggregated, de-identified findings of
the other medical offices submitting
data. These reports are used to assist
medical office staff in their efforts to
improve patient safety culture in their
organizations.
Rationale for the information
collection. The Medical Office SOPS
and the Medical Office SOPS Database
support AHRQ’s goals of promoting
improvements in the quality and safety
of health care in medical office settings.
The survey, toolkit materials, and
database results are all made publicly
available on AHRQ’s website. Technical
assistance is provided by AHRQ through
its contractor at no charge to medical
offices, to facilitate the use of these
materials for medical office patient
safety and quality improvement.
Request for information collection
approval. The Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) requests

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 91 / Thursday, May 10, 2018 / Notices
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) reapprove, under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
AHRQ’s collection of information for
the AHRQ Medical Office SOPS
Database; OMB NO. 0935–0196, last
approved on August, 25, 2015.
This database will:
(1) Present results from medical
offices that voluntarily submit their
data,
(2) Provide data to medical offices to
facilitate internal assessment and
learning in the patient safety
improvement process, and
(3) Provide supplemental information
to help medical offices identify their
strengths and areas with potential for
improvement in patient safety culture.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Westat,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
health care and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to: The quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of health care
services; quality measurement and
improvement; and database
development. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1), (2),
and (8).
Method of Collection

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

To achieve the goal of this project the
following activities and data collections
will be implemented:
(1) Eligibility and Registration Form—
The medical office point-of-contact
(POC) completes a number of data
submission steps and forms, beginning
with the completion of an online
Eligibility and Registration Form. The
purpose of this form is to collect basic
demographic information about the
medical office and initiate the
registration process.
(2) Data Use Agreement—The
purpose of the data use agreement,
completed by the medical office POC, is
to state how data submitted by medical
offices will be used and provide privacy
assurances.
(3) Medical Office Site Information
Form—The purpose of the site
information form, also completed by the
medical office POC, is to collect
background characteristics of the
medical office. This information will be
used to analyze data collected with the
Medical Office SOPS survey.

(4) Data Files Submission—POCs
upload their data file(s), using the
medical office data file specifications, to
ensure that users submit standardized
and consistent data in the way variables
are named, coded, and formatted. The
number of submissions to the database
is likely to vary each year because
medical offices do not administer the
survey and submit data every year. Data
submission is typically handled by one
POC who is either an office manager or
a survey vendor who contracts with a
medical office to collect their data.
POCs submit data on behalf of 35
medical offices, on average, because
many medical offices are part of a health
system that includes many medical
office sites, or the POC is a vendor that
is submitting data for multiple medical
offices.
Survey data from the AHRQ Medical
Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture
are used to produce three types of
products:
(1) A Medical Office SOPS Database
Report that is made publicly available
on the AHRQ website (see Medical
Office User Database Report);
(2) Individual Medical Office Survey
Feedback Reports that are customized
for each medical office that submits data
to the database; and
(3) Research data sets of individuallevel and medical office-level deidentified data to enable researchers to
conduct analyses. All data released in a
data set are de-identified at the
individual-level and the medical officelevel.
Medical offices will be invited to
voluntarily submit their Medical Office
SOPS survey data to the database.
AHRQ’s contractor, Westat, then cleans
and aggregates the data to produce a
PDF-formatted Database Report
displaying averages, standard
deviations, and percentile scores on the
survey’s 38 items and 10 patient safety
culture composites of patient safety
culture, and 14 items measuring how
often medical offices have problems
exchanging information with other
settings and other patient safety and
quality issues. The report also displays
these results by medical office
characteristics (size of office, specialty,
geographic region, etc.) and respondent
characteristics (staff position).
The Database Report includes a
section on data limitations, emphasizing

that the report does not reflect a
representative sampling of the U.S.
medical office population. Because
participating medical offices will choose
to voluntarily submit their data into the
database and therefore are not a random
or national sample of medical offices,
estimates based on this self-selected
group might be biased estimates. We
recommend that users review the
database results with these caveats in
mind.
Each medical office that submits its
data receives a customized survey
feedback report that presents their
results alongside the aggregated results
from other participating medical offices.
Medical offices use the Medical Office
SOPS, Database Reports, and Individual
Medical Office Survey Feedback Reports
for a number of purposes, to:
• Raise staff awareness about patient
safety;
• Elucidate and assess the current
status of patient safety culture in their
medical office;
• Identify strengths and areas for
patient safety culture improvement;
• Evaluate trends in patient safety
culture change over time; and
• Evaluate the cultural impact of
patient safety initiatives and
interventions.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents’ time to participate in the
database. An estimated 70 POCs, each
representing an average of 35 individual
medical offices each, will complete the
database submission steps and forms.
Each POC will submit the following:
• Eligibility and registration form
(completion is estimated to take about 3
minutes).
• Data Use Agreement (completion is
estimated to take about 3 minutes).
• Medical Office Information Form
(completion is estimated to take about 5
minutes).
• Survey data submission will take an
average of one hour.
The total burden is estimated to be
283 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the
respondents’ time to submit their data.
The cost burden is estimated to be
$14,880 annually.
