complete collection of diabetes program
progress information using the Internet.
The number of hours that DPCPs
users spend with the system usage has
increased since compared to the initial
baseline proposed in the last OMB
approval three years ago. This increase
in burden does not directly translate
into a greater reporting burden, but
facilitates better monitoring and
tracking of their programs and helps
create an organizational memory.
Consequently, they are using the System
to a great extent as an integral part of
their program compared to previous
years. DPCPs add updates about their
work plans and other activities into the
System on an ongoing basis. The hourburden estimates include the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection
of information. Based on input provided
by a representative sample for DPCPs,
the total annualized response burden
increased from 4 to 96 hours, changing
the total burden hours from 236 to
5,664. Even though there has been an
increase in the burden hours the
number of responses remains at one (1),
because the DPCPs are only required to
report annually to CDC.
MIS has improved upon the old data
collection system by:
• Improving accountability.
• Shortening the information cycle.
• Eliminating non-standard reporting.
• Minimizing unnecessary
duplication of data collection and entry.
• Reducing the reporting burden on
small state organizations.
• Using plain, coherent, and
unambiguous terminology that is
understandable to respondents.
• Implementing a consistent system
for progress reporting and record
keeping processes.
• Identifying the retention periods for
record keeping requirements.
• Utilizing modern information
technology for data collection and
transfer.
• Significantly reducing the amount
of paper reports that diabetes prevention
and control programs are required to
submit.
MIS has allowed CDC to more rapidly
respond to outside inquiries concerning
a specific diabetes control activity
occurring in the state diabetes
prevention and control programs. The
data collection requirement has
formalized the format and the content of
diabetes data reported from the DPCPs
and provides an electronic means for
efficient collection and transmission to
the CDC headquarters.
MIS has facilitated the staff’s ability at
CDC to fulfill its obligations under the
cooperative agreements; to monitor,
evaluate, and compare individual
programs; and to assess and report
aggregate information regarding the
overall effectiveness of the DCP
program. It has also supported DDT’s
broader mission of reducing the burden
of diabetes by enabling DDT staff to
more effectively identify the strengths
and weaknesses of individual DPCPs
and to disseminate information related
to successful public health interventions
implemented by these organizations to
prevent and control diabetes.
Implementation of MIS has provided for
efficient collection of state-level
diabetes program data. The respondent’s
average Internet cost is $1,080 per year.
