Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Management and

Hospitals
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on November
19, 2020 during a 60-day comment
period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Management and Organizational
Practices Survey-Hospitals.
OMB Control Number: 0607–XXXX.
Form Number(s): MOPS–HP.
Type of Request: Regular submission,
New Information Collection Request.
Number of Respondents: 3,200.
Average Hours per Response: 45
minutes.
Burden Hours: 2,400.
Needs and Uses: The Census Bureau
proposes conducting the Management
and Organizational Practices Survey-
Hospitals (MOPS–HP) in order to
provide critical information on the
health sector to our many stakeholders
in support of our mission to serve as
‘‘the leading source of quality data about
the nation’s people and economy.’’ The
MOPS–HP will collect information on
the use of structured management
practices from Chief Nursing Officers
(CNOs) at approximately 3,200 hospitals
with the goal of producing four publicly
available indices that measure key
characteristics of these structured
management practices. The proposed
MOPS–HP will be collected for
reference years 2020 and 2019. Content
includes performance monitoring, goals,
staff management, the use of
standardized clinical protocols, and
medical record documentation. Some
questions are adapted from the
Management and Organizational
Practices Survey (MOPS) (OMB
Approval Number 0607–0963),
conducted in the manufacturing sector,
allowing for inter-sectoral comparisons.
The MOPS–HP will provide a deeper
understanding of the business processes
which impact an increasingly important
sector of the economy; total national
health expenditures represented almost
18 percent of U.S. gross domestic
product in 2017 (National Center for
Health Statistics). The MOPS–HP will
provide a nationally representative
sample, enabling stakeholders to
understand the role of structured
management practices in financial and
clinical outcomes in U.S. hospitals. This
understanding is of increasing
importance with the COVID–19
pandemic, where the overwhelming
number of hospitalizations at varying
points has stretched staff and resources
to capacity. In much the same way that
the MOPS allowed for the measurement
of the importance of these structured
management practices for productivity
and growth in the manufacturing sector,
the MOPS–HP will inform our
understanding of hospitals. Questions
developed and tested for the MOPS–HP
instrument are adapted from the 2015
MOPS and the 2009 World Management
Survey’s (WMS) healthcare instrument.
The Census Bureau conducted the
MOPS in 2010 and 2015 with
approximately 35,000 manufacturing
plants to measure management
practices. These data show that
management practices are strongly
correlated with plant profitability and
productivity. The WMS has collected
