*CONTINUED PARTICIPATION TELEPHONE CALL

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. I’m calling on behalf of the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). First, I would like to thank you for your hospital’s participation in the National Hospital Care Survey. The data collected in the survey is being used to help address the current opioid epidemic in the United States. We have developed an enhanced method of identifying opioid-involved hospital encounters and opioid-related overdoses utilizing all the clinical data collected in the National Hospital Care Survey. We are in the process of validating these newly developed methods by conducting a validation study from a sample of participating hospitals. We are asking for your hospital’s assistance with validating the newly developed methodology.



This one-time study does not affect your participation in the National Hospital Care Survey. The validation involves an NCHS designated agent gaining access to your hospital’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) system so they can complete a short questionnaire on the data present in the EHR for 100 previously submitted hospital encounters. This questionnaire allows us to validate the newly developed methodology for identifying opioid-involved hospital visits. If the validation of the data cannot occur on hospital grounds, remote access is an option. After receiving direct data access, we do not require further assistance from hospital staff with data abstraction. Data access is required for 3 days for the abstractor to validate the sampled encounters. Your participation in the validation study is completely voluntary. Your assistance is vital to success and implementation of the enhanced methodology, which will enable us to provide better opioid-involved encounter data to hospitals. If at any point you think there is someone else we should talk to, in addition to you, please let me know.



Is someone else we should talk to?



Fill in if someone else and end interview with current respondent. If not, proceed to consent and question 1:

The NCHS Ethics Review Board has approved this one-time study. We take your privacy very seriously. We are required to keep your survey data confidential.

L. No. 115-435, 132 Stat. 5529)). The data will be safeguarded according to federal mandates requiring data security procedures such as data encryption and secure data networks.
