Abstract: The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), requests approval to continue the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) (OMB No. 0920-0212) which integrates the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) (OMB No. 0920-0278) and the Drug-Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) (OMB No. 0930-0078, expired 12/31/2011) previously conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA). Integration of NHAMCS and DAWN into the NHCS is part of a broader strategy to improve efficiency by minimizing redundancy in data collection; broadening our capability to collect more relevant data on transitions of care; and identifying opportunities to explore electronic and administrative clinical data systems to augment primary data collection.
