Strategies for Estimation Clause Samples

The "Strategies for Estimation" clause outlines the methods and approaches used to calculate or predict costs, timelines, or resource requirements within a contract or project. It typically specifies which estimation techniques are acceptable, such as historical data analysis, expert judgment, or industry benchmarks, and may require documentation or justification for the chosen method. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear, agreed-upon process for making projections, reducing misunderstandings and disputes over expectations or deliverables.

Strategies for Estimation. 4.1 Developing Event-Level Estimates The data in this file can be used to develop national 2019 event-level estimates for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population on inpatient hospital stays as well as expenditures, and sources of payment for these stays. Estimates of total stays are the sum of the weight variable (PERWT19F) across relevant event records while estimates of other variables must be weighted by PERWT19F to be nationally representative. The tables below contain event-level estimates for selected variables. Selected Event-Level Estimates Hospital Stays Estimate of Interest Variable Name Estimate (SE) Estimate Excluding Zero Payment Events (SE)* Total number of inpatient hospital stays (in millions) PERWT19F 29.6 (1.11) 29.5 (1.11) Total number of nights in hospital across all stays (in millions) NUMNIGHX 141.9 (7.83) 141.7 (7.82) Average number of nights per stay NUMNIGHX 4.8 (0.20) 4.8 (0.20) Average number of nights per stay (NUMNIGHX > 0) NUMNIGHX 4.8 (0.20) 4.8 (0.20) Hospital Expenditures Estimate of Interest Variable Name Estimate (SE) Estimate Excluding Zero Payment Events (SE)* Mean total payments per stay IPXP19X $16,014 ($548.4) $16,065 ($548.6) Mean out-of-pocket payment per stay IPDSF19X +IPFSF19X $423 ($27.3) $424 ($27.3) Mean proportion of total expenditures per stay paid by private insurance (IPDPV19X+ IPFPV19X) /IPXP19X ---------- 0.346 (0.0122) Mean total payments per night (NUMNIGHX > 0) IPXP19X/ NUMNIGHX $5,780 ($196.4) $5, 798 ($196.3) * Zero payment events can occur in MEPS for the following reasons: (1) the stay was covered under a flat fee arrangement (flat fee payments are included only on the first event covered by the arrangement), (2) there was no charge for a follow-up stay, (3) the provider was never paid by an individual, insurance plan, or other source for services provided, (4) the charges were included in another bill, or (5) the event was paid for through government or privately- funded research or clinical trials. 4.2 Person-Based Estimates for Hospital Inpatient Stays To enhance analyses of hospital inpatient stays, analysts may link information about inpatient stays by sample persons in this file to the annual full year consolidated file (which has data for all MEPS sample persons), or conversely, link person-level information from the full year consolidated file to this event-level file (see Section 5 below for more details). Both this file and the full year consolidated file may be used to derive ...
