INTRODUCTION

This instruction manual has been prepared to assist NBCCEDP grantees to provide the information requested in the Cost Assessment Tool (CAT) questionnaire. The CAT is used to collect information on cost data elements and also allocate these costs to specific activities performed by grantees. This data collection effort will provide CDC with activity-based cost elements to understand the cost of the various activities performed by the NBCCEDP grantees, the factors that may impact these costs, and the cost-effectiveness of the programs. Based on these analyses, CDC can utilize a systematic process to allocate program funds based on grantees’ past performance and future needs. The cost data collected will also be used by the grantees themselves to improve efficiencies within their programs.

The information collected in the CAT consists of a set of standardized cost data elements developed to ensure that consistent and complete information on annual expenditures, in-kind contribution, staff and consultant salaries, screening costs, contracts and material costs, provider payments, administrative costs, and allocation of funds and staff time to breast cancer versus cervical cancer screenings are collected on all NBCCEDP grantees. Since the objective of the cost data collection is to collect activity based cost data, information on cost incurred or expenditures should be reported and not budget data. For example, budget data is the amount anticipated to be spent on screening services (as calculated in the Clinical Cost Worksheet), whereas the CAT will collect the actual amount spent on screening based on amount reimbursed to providers.

The data is collected via the web to reduce respondent burden, data collection errors and delays in receiving data. The web-based tool includes several features to specifically reduce burden and collect high quality data. For example, the tool contains automated data checks so that the grantees can perform self-directed quality checks on the data as they input it. In addition, the list of NBCCEDP activities is provided in drop-down boxes to eliminate the time spent typing in text and the tool also contains an interactive user’s guide that provides variable definitions and instructions for providing the required data elements.

This manual was written by RTI International, under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Contract No. 200-2002-00575, Task Order No. 0006 (Economic Analysis of the NBCCEDP OBM # 0920-XXXX, expiration date XX/XX/20XX).

Guidelines to Complete the Questionnaire

General Instructions: Please enter values and text in cells highlighted in blue. The cells highlighted in green have drop down boxes with several choices to select from. Please do not enter any information in the yellow cells as the information in these cells is calculated automatically based on predetermined formulae.

Specific goals of the NBCCEDP Data User’s Manual are to:

• Provide technical information necessary to complete the cost data questionnaire.

• Provide conventions to use in preparing the data.

• Provide guidelines for ensuring data quality.

• Provide examples of the data entry forms.

• Provide technical assistance to the grantees.

Data coordinators for each grantee will use the NBCCEDP Data User’s Manual as they collect and prepare the data for submission to RTI. Please report cost data for the 2007 fiscal year (July 1, 2006 to June 31, 2007). Files containing cost data will be submitted to RTI by July 31, 2008. This is a one-time effort to collect annual data from all 68 grantees.

Please select the grantee name from the drop down box under 1A. Names of all 68 grantees are provided in alphabetical order. Under 1B, please enter the primary staff contact information. This person will be contacted if there are any questions regarding the data elements provided.

Under 1C, please enter the type of service delivery system. Please refer to the definitions of the service delivery system below before making the selection.

I. Centralized program structure: grantee provides clinical services in its satellite offices (may exclude mammograms and diagnostics), pays the salary of clinicians who provide services in various locations by arrangement, performs all tracking and follow-up services, provides all case management (CM) services, performs all data entry and analysis, performs all billing and reimbursement services, and performs all public education and outreach activities.

II. Mixed program structure: grantee contracts directly with physician offices for all clinical services, contracts directly with physician offices to perform tracking and follow-up services, and to provide all CM services. Contractor(s) enter data in database, and grantee runs reports/conducts analysis. Hired contractor performs all billing and reimbursement services. Grantee assesses public education and outreach needs, develops messages and sets priorities, and contractors deliver public education and outreach.

III. De-centralized program structure: grantee contracts with local/regional health departments, private hospitals or other entities to fully manage and subcontract screening and diagnostic services, perform and/or subcontract tracking & follow-up services, to provide and/or subcontract CM services, and perform billing and reimbursement services. Contractors collect, enter and analyze data, assess public education and outreach needs, set priorities and provide public education and outreach.

For questions under 1D, indicate ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for each. Please indicate ‘yes’ for all categories that apply for each question. The responses to these questions will be reviewed to ensure that the program delivery structure is specified consistently across all grantees.
