Abstract:
|
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is an ongoing set of surveys that yield national estimates of health care use, cost, and insurance coverage. The MEPS Medical Provider Component (MEPS-MPC) collects data from providers of medical care to MEPS households. The RWJ Foundation sponsored the Medical Organization Survey (MEPS-MOS) to collect data on practice characteristics from MEPS-MPC providers that are usual sources of care. Surveys of medical care facilities are often subject to low cooperation rates. The MEPS-MOS data collection strategy can potentially improve cooperation and results will provide critical information for future provider and medical practice data collection. This paper will present data on characteristics associated with unit nonresponse for organizations providing medical care to MEPS respondents; analyze factors that predict item nonresponse; and examine the quality of responses. External data sources will be used to obtain characteristics of non-responding providers and identify correlates of item nonresponse. Results of the survey will be benchmarked to external data sources.
