Approved for use
through 9/94 under the conditions that: 1) ASPE conducts a sampled
validation of utilization data from the main study, accessing
Medicare/Medicaid claims data from the Common Working File, files
of MMIS-participating States, the Tape-to-Tape project, etc. Th
sample validation should be as representative and cover as many of
the ten States as is feasible and statistically necessary. A
description this validation component of the study should be
forwarded to OMB no later than 8/93; and 2) since this study at
best measures the overall impact of general regulatory schemes on
quality of care, rather th the impact of specific program
characteristics on client satisfaction and quality of care, this
study's results will be inadequate in fully informing detailed
policy development, statutory or administrative. In the FY 1994 HHS
Information Resources Management Plan, ASPE outlines a follow-up
research plan for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data at
the level of specificity necessary to support comprehensive
evaluation of the service delivery by board and care homes an
impact on clients. This approval incorporates the amendments dated
June 16, 1993, as submitted by ASPE's contractor.
