摘要

The report, prepared as part of the Feasibility Study for the InstitutionalPopulation Component (IPC) of the National Medical Expenditure Survey Round 3 (NMES3), examines alternative procedures for collecting data on charges and payments for care in long term care facilities. The report examines several basic alternative approaches to collecting the data through computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), interviewing with traditional paper and pencil questionnaires, and abstracting the data from records or copies of records provided by cooperating facilities.
