SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION COLLECTION UNDER THE

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


DATE OF REQUEST: 05/07/2021


SUB AGENCY (I/C): HHS/AHRQ


TITLE: Building Diagnostic Safety Capacity - Diagnostic Calibration Resource Evaluation Plan


GENERIC CLEARANCE UNDER OMB#: 0925-0179 EXP. DATE: 11/30/2023


ABSTRACT:

Shape1

The MedStar Health Research Institute was awarded a contract with AHRQ to provide program support and expertise related to improving diagnostic safety and quality across five distinct contract tasks. Task 5A of the contract is to develop, implement, pilot test and promote measurement approaches at the individual clinician level to improve diagnostic safety capacity. To execute this task, the contractor has assembled an interprofessional team to develop a tool that provides clinicians with guidance for evaluating and calibrating their own diagnostic performance for the purposes of learning and improvement and to prevent gaps in care leading to diagnostic failures.


A qualitative approach to data collection (e.g., individual interviews) and analysis will be used to pilot test the tool and provide useful insights on stakeholders’ perceptions and opinions, identify barriers and facilitators to implementation, receptivity to the tool by stakeholders, as well as to explore general stakeholder feedback to enhance the usability of the tool. The approach will not consist of statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population. Pilot testing will occur with up to 20 clinicians and feasibility of implementation will be assessed at the stakeholder level. The information collected from stakeholders will be used to revise the tool in order to promote widespread adoption.



This information collection has the following goal:


  1. To pilot test the diagnostic safety calibration resource (the Resource) in order to prepare the Resource for further evaluation and eventual implementation. The testing process will qualitatively examine:

    1. Ease of use of the Resource with limited or no technical assistance;

    2. Receptivity of clinicians to the Resource;

    3. Feedback on areas to improve the Resource and feasibility of its implementation within various settings (e.g., hospital, outpatient practices, rural/urban, academic/non-academic).
