Proposed Project: Voluntary Partner
Surveys in the Health Resources and
Services Administration—(OMB No.
0915–0212—Extension
In response to Executive Order 12862,
the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) conducts
voluntary customer surveys of its
‘‘partners’’ to assess strengths and
weaknesses in program services. An
extension of a generic approval is being
requested from OMB to conduct these
customer or partner satisfaction surveys.
HRSA partners are typically State or
local governments, health care facilities,
health care consortia, health care
providers, and researchers.
Partner surveys to be conducted by
HRSA might include, for example, brief
surveys of grantees to determine
satisfaction with a technical assistance
contractor, or in-class evaluation forms
completed by providers who receive
training from HRSA grantees, to
measure satisfaction with the training
experience. Results of these surveys will
be used to plan and redirect resources
and efforts as needed to improve
service. Focus groups may also be used
to potential method to obtain input on
services and training. Focus groups, inclass evaluation forms, mail surveys,
and telephone surveys are expected to
be the preferred methodologies.
