DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
intention of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approve the proposed
information collection project: ‘‘Health
Care Systems for Tracking Colorectal
Cancer Screening Tests.’’ In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), AHRQ
invites the public to comment on this
proposed information collection.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on March 27th, 2008 and
allowed 60 days for public comment. No
comments were received. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment. Changes
were made to this 30 day notice to
account for the electronic patient
records review which were not
accounted for in the 60 day notice.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by August 18, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be submitted to: AHRQ’s OMB Desk
Officer by fax at (202) 395–6974
(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer) or by email at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov
(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer).
Copies of the proposed collection
plans, data collection instruments, and
specific details on the estimated burden
can be obtained from the AHRQ Reports
Clearance Officer.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Doris Lefkowitz, AHRQ Reports
Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477, or by
e-mail at doris.lefkowitz@ahrq.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Health Care Systems for Tracking
Colorectal Cancer Screening Tests
AHRQ proposes to implement and
assess a system redesign intervention to
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

improve colorectal cancer (CRC)
screening and follow-up among patients
50–79 years-old. Other goals of the
intervention include: (1) Achieving a
high level of satisfaction with the
intervention among patients, providers,
and practice staff, (2) promoting patientcentered care through the intervention,
(3) being a cost-effective intervention,
and (4) demonstrating the benefits to
businesses for implementing the
intervention. The research is sponsored
by AHRQ under its ACTION
(Accelerating Change and
Transformation in Organizations and
Networks) program, and will be
conducted for AHRQ by The CNA
Corporation (CNA) and its partners
Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) and
Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH).
Colorectal cancer screening is
recommended as routine preventive
care and this intervention, which is
consistent with current CRC screening
guidelines, carries no greater risk than
that which occurs in usual delivery of
healthcare (i.e., screening and follow up
done without benefit of this
intervention). Nevertheless, as part of
standard research practice, the
intervention and assessment protocol
will be submitted to the Institutional
Review Boards (IRB) at both LVH and
TJU so that they can review the
protocols to ensure that they are
consistent with the requirements of
human subjects protection as outlined
in federal statute, regulations, and
guidelines. These approvals will be
obtained before the study begins.
Additionally, CNA and LVH have a
business associate agreement, and all
parties involved with the study (CNA,
LVH, and TJU) will comply with the
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy
Rule, 45 CFR parts 160 and 164. To
further protect patient privacy, neither
CNA nor TJU will have access to any
personally-identifiable data. Only LVH
personnel will have access to
identifiable data, which they will deidentify before sending to CNA and TJU
for analysis. Consistent with this
protocol, only LVH staff will have
access to patient names and addresses
and will conduct all mailings of letters
and related material to patients.
The intervention will be implemented
in both Family Medicine and General
Internal Medicine practices affiliated
with the LVH, and will involve 20
intervention practices and 5 control
practices (25 practices total). The
intervention will consist of inviting and
assisting eligible patients of intervention
practices to be screened for CRC,
providing academic detailing to
intervention practice providers
