Approved for use through 7/99 under the following conditions: 1) as with the NHIS, no later than 7/96 NCHS provides to OMB a crosswalk between the Injury sections on the patient abstract sheet and the ICD-10 and NOMESCO classification systems; 2) no later than 12/96, NCHS provides OMB an analysis of the Injury sections as they relate to the forthcoming third revised edition of the NOMESCO classification that will be published in the Fall of 1996 as a Trial Version of the International Classification of External Causes of Injury in collaboration with the World Health Organization; 3) NCHS immediately incorporates all disclosure statements mandated pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and implementing regulations. The revised forms/ instructions incorporating these disclosures must be provided to OMB; and 4) prior to the next submission for OMB review, NCHS briefs OMB on the status of its efforts to include its series of provider-based surveys in the Department's Data Consolidation initiative. Finally, OMB encourages NCHS to continue its analytic contributions to policymaking throughout the Department (in particular providing HCFA its survey expertise and analysis based on provider surveys.) OMB continues to evaluate the practical utility of these provider-based surveys in terms of their impact on the rigor and quality of HHS policy development.
