• What metrics are learning
healthcare systems utilizing to:
• Understand the degree to which
they are functioning as a system?
• Monitor progress on their rate of
moving clinical evidence into practice?
• Evaluate the consistency of
application of evidence across the
organization?
• How do these metrics relate to
health care delivery organization goal
setting, individual employee
performance review and internal
compensation linked to performance?
• How are learning healthcare
systems involving patients and families
in their efforts?
• What evidence, tools, training,
methods, data, or measures could AHRQ
develop or provide that would have a
significant impact on the ability of
health care delivery organizations to
utilize their own data, use externally
produced data and evidence, and meet
their own quality and safety goals?
AHRQ will use the information it
receives to assist in developing future
initiatives. These initiatives may
include but are not limited to
developing research grant opportunities
to advance this field, investing in the
creation of tools and training materials
for health professionals and healthcare
delivery organizations, the development
of quality improvement measures, and/
or convening learning collaboratives
focused on accelerating the
development of learning healthcare
system capabilities within healthcare
delivery organizations.
Healthcare professionals and

above by February 28, 2017. While
AHRQ is interested in all of the specific
questions listed above, respondents are
welcome to include answers to as many
or few as they choose as well as
addressing additional areas of interest
not listed. AHRQ encourages
respondents to include a description of
their healthcare delivery organization at

encouraged to share supporting
materials, such as charters for quality
and safety improvement committees,
data use agreements for learning
collaboratives, population health

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Health Profession Opportunity
Grant (HPOG) program: Third FollowUp Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0970–0394.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing data
collection activities as part of the Health
Profession Opportunity Grant (HPOG)
program. The proposed data collection
activities are for the Impact Study of the
first round of HPOG grants (HPOGImpact). The goal of HPOG-Impact is to
evaluate the effectiveness of approaches
used by 20 of the 27 non-tribal HPOG
grantees to provide TANF recipients
and other low-income individuals with

opportunities for education, training,
and advancement within the healthcare
field. It is also intended to evaluate
variation in participant impact that may
be attributable to different HPOG
program components and models.
HPOG-Impact is one project within
the broader portfolio of research that the
ACF Office of Planning, Research, and
Evaluation (OPRE) is utilizing to assess
the success of career pathways programs
and models. This strategy includes a
multi-pronged research and evaluation
approach for the HPOG program to
better understand and assess the
activities and their results as well as the
Pathways for Advancing Careers and
Education (PACE) project. In order to
maximize learning across the portfolio,
survey development for the HPOG and
PACE baseline and follow-up surveys
has been coordinated, and the majority
of the data elements collected in these
surveys are similar. (See OMB Control
#0970–0397 for PACE data collection.)
Four data collection efforts have been
approved for HPOG research: One for
approval of a Performance Reporting
System (PRS) (approved September
2011); a second for collection of
baseline data (approved October 2012);
a third for a follow-up survey of
participants administered
approximately 15 months after random
assignment and for implementation
study data collection (approved August
2013); and a fourth for a second followup survey of participants administered
36 months after random assignment
(approved December 2014).
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on a
proposed new information collection
activity for HPOG-Impact—a third
follow-up survey for HPOG-Impact
participants approximately 72 months
after program enrollment. The purpose
of the survey is to follow-up with study
participants to document their
education and training experiences;
employment experiences including their
advancement in their career; economic
well-being; student debt and repayment
status; and parenting practices and child
outcomes for participants with children.
Previously approved collection
activities under 0970–0394 will
continue under this new request,
specifically the 36-Month Follow-Up
Survey and the Follow-Up Survey
Contact Information Update Letters.
Respondents: Random sample of
individuals enrolled in the HPOGImpact Study.
