Discussion of Pandemic Effects Sample Clauses

Discussion of Pandemic Effects on Quality of MEPS Data The challenges associated with MEPS data collection in 2020 after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic continued through 2021 and possibly into 2022. The major modifications to the standard MEPS study design remained in effect, permitting data to be collected safely but with accompanying concerns related to the quality of the data obtained. The suggestion made in the documentation for the FY 2020 and FY2021 MEPS Consolidated PUF data still holds. Researchers are counseled to take care in the interpretation of estimates based on data collected from these three calendar years. This includes the comparison of such estimates to those of other years and corresponding trend analyses. Section 3.1 of the documentation for the 2020 Consolidated PUF provides a general discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on several other major in-person federal surveys as well as on MEPS. In addition, it offers a detailed look at how MEPS was modified to permit safe data collection and the development of useful estimates at a time when the way the U.S. health care system functioned underwent many transformations to meet population needs. Three sources of potential bias were identified for MEPS for FY 2020: (1) long recall period for Round 6 of Panel 23, (2) switching from in-person to telephone interviewing which likely had a larger impact on Panel 25, and (3) the impact of CPS bias on the MEPS weights. A number of statistically significant differences were found between panels for FY 2020. Those findings are discussed in MEPS HC 224. Concerns of potential bias for FY 2021 and between panel differences are discussed in Section 3.1 of the documentation for the 2021 Consolidated PUF. Additional analysis has also uncovered a concerning trend on event reporting in MEPS following the COVID-19 pandemic. While reporting of other event types has rebounded from the dip experienced in 2020, inpatient (IP) and emergency room (ER) utilization reports collected in FY 2021 did not rebound as much as key benchmarks, even though these are the most salient event types. Modifications made to the MEPS sample design discussed in the 2022 Population Characteristics PUF may have partially contributed to the concerning trend. Concerns for potential bias for FY 2022 include: • The impact of the pandemic on NHIS data collection and the resulting Panel 26 MEPS sample (Section 3.1.1 of the 2022 Population Characteristics PUF). NHIS response rates in the pandemic and shifts i...
