YOU AR PROVIDING THIS EXPENSIVE SURVEY TO NON PROFITS SO THEY DONT HAVE TO SPEND THEIR MONEY TO GET IT. WHY ARE TAXPAYERS THE FALL GUY HERE SPENDING THEIR TAX DOLLARS ON THIS INFORMATION SO THAT HANGERS ON CAN GET IT FREE. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO REAAL REASON TO COLLECT THIS INFORMATION CERTAINLY MEDICARE IS ALREADY COLLECTING HEALTH INFORMATION. WHY DO WE NEED SO MANY DUPLICATE AGENCIES COLLECTING THE SAMEINFORMATION? IS THIS A MAKE WORK PROJECT TO KEEP JOBS GOING IN THIS FAT CAT BUREAUCRACY? I AM IN FAVOR OF BANNING THIS COLLECTION OF INFORMATION AND NOT DOING THIS COLLECTION ANYMORE. EVEN IF YOU DID IT, WHY EVERY SINGLE YEAR WHEN EVERY 5 OR 7 YEARS IS MORE THAN OFTEN ENOUGH.CLEARLY THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS.

General Comment
since
the u.s. taxpayers just paid for you to have 3 years to collect data.
have you analyzed what you have collected yet to see if it has any
validity. where is the research on this 3 years of study paid for by
u.s. taxpayers. why are you seeking to do more when you have not
analyzed what you have gotten so far out of th ehides of taxpayers
who paid for this so you coul dhave jobs. makes no sense to keep
doing this when you have not analyzed what you have. shut down this
out of control spending. this agency deserves a grade of f minus.
what it does just never never ever makes sense. it exists as a
spending crap shoot.
it plays to big pharma and big medicine and
lets national health go down the tube. we have more americans dying
earlier than ever before in the history of the company and we are
spending more on health care than ever before in any century.
shows
the inefficiency, waste at the cdc. which stinks and sucks. nih no
better when you find out the horrible way they abuse animals and the
results of that abuse isnt even transferable to humans. we have sick
psychos in this field operating without sound judgment.

I
am writing in support of continuing the National Hospital Discharge
Survey. The CDC data collected voluntarily from hospitals about
inpatients, emergency room visits and discharges across the country
has led to a database that informs not only the CDC but providers and
patients. This important data set informs the nations healthcare
goals and it is imperative that it remain current.
As a
Nurse Practitioner working with cardiac, vascular and thoracic
surgery patients for the last 19 years, I often use the Healthy
People 2020 website to illustrate to my patients the many factors
that contribute to cardiovascular disease. This website uses
statistics gained from the National Hospital Discharge Survey as well
as many other national health surveys to understand the state of
healthcare in the US. It then advocates strategies for health
promotion.
Some have claimed that despite studying the
problem, the United States has a lower life expectancy than other
western nations and therefore we should not waste time and money on
this survey. But we wont find solutions without data. These data can
be used to convince local governments to fund programs to improve
outcomes such as stroke symptom awareness initiatives and community
blood pressure screening. The National Hospital Discharge Survey
costs participants nothing more than time and provides vital
information that serves the health interests of the of the country.

The
National Hospital Discharge Survey has been conducted annually since
1965. Since 2010, there have been improvements to link information
from the emergency department, outpatient department, and ambulatory
surgery centers as well. This data is invaluable to the health care
sector and can be used in many ways.
I am a nurse studying
for my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, which has a focus on
quality improvement in the clinical setting. Throughout my studies I
have learned how valuable data can be in order to impact patient
care. The data collected from this survey can be evaluated and
analyzed by the CDC as well as other agencies to find where the gaps
in health care exist. By allowing this information to be utilized,
new recommendations and regulations can be created. This is important
to me as an advanced practice nurse as we are always striving to
provide the best care possible to our patients. This data can also be
transformed into valuable educational information for the public to
influence their health habits. The CDC has many resources for
patients in non-medical terms and much of that information comes from
this survey
This survey should be continued as it has been
for the last 53 years. With the recent improvements listed above,
even more data is available through the use of this survey and we
should continue to collect and utilize it.
