SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION COLLECTION UNDER THE

Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery


DATE OF REQUEST:


SUB AGENCY (I/C): HHS/AHRQ


TITLE: Information Gathering and Usability Testing for AHRQ Data Tools Platform Development and Maintenance


GENERIC CLEARANCE UNDER OMB#: 0925-0179 EXP. DATE: 11/30/2020


ABSTRACT:

Shape1

AHRQ has a number of data tools online that allow users with little to no programming experience to use data. These include MEPS tables and MEPSnet (Household and Insurance Component), the Healthcare Cost and Use Project (HCUPnet and FastStats), the Quality and Disparities Reports and tables from the CAHPS user database.

This project will interview users (up to 10 for each tool) in order to assess needed improvements and identify ways that the tools could be harmonized across data sources to improve the user experience and reduce AHRQ’s total cost of developing and maintaining these tools. This collection is one of several activities feeding into this assessment.

This collection is entirely for AHRQ’s review of the tools and improving our service to customers. It is in no way related to a scientific or policy decision
