Replacement Awardee: Community
Health Center of Richmond.
Amount of Replacement Award:

Period of Replacement Award: The
period of support for the replacement
award is March 1, 2009 to February 28,
2011.
Authority: Section 330 of the Public

CFDA Number: 93.703.
Justification for the Exception to

William F. Ryan Community Health
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Center, Inc., notified HRSA that its
original subrecipient, Community
Health Center of Richmond, will
directly initiate primary health care
services in Staten Island to the more
than 5,250 low income, underserved
and uninsured individuals in the
original service area, Staten Island,
Richmond County, New York, as had
been proposed in a funded New Access
Point grant application.
Community Health Center of
Richmond was identified as the
provider of services on behalf of the
William F. Ryan Community Health
Center under the original application.
Community Health Center of
Richmond is an experienced provider of
care to the original target population,
has a demonstrated record of
compliance with the Health Center
Program statutory and regulatory
requirements, can provide primary
health care services immediately, and is
located in the same geographical area
where the William F. Ryan Community
Health Center, Inc.’s services were to
have been provided.
Community Health Center of
Richmond is a subrecipient of the
former grantee and will be able to
provide continuity of care to patients of
the former grantee. This underserved
target population has an immediate
need for vital primary health care
services and would be negatively
impacted by any delay caused by a
competition. As a result, in order to
ensure that critical primary health care
services are available to the original
target population in a timely manner,
this replacement award will not be
competed.

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ), HHS.
ACTION: Notice of request for
information.
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
intention of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request
information from (1) small- and
medium-sized practices about how they
study or redesign their workflow,
including information on the use of
tools and methods for studying
workflow, and (2) others (e.g., experts,
vendors, professional associations) that
have developed, implemented and used
tools and methods for studying
workflow in the context of health IT
implementation and use. Workflow is
defined as the way work is performed
and patient-related information is
communicated within small- and
medium-sized practices and between
those practices and external
organizations such as community
pharmacies and local hospitals. It is our
understanding that there is currently no
standard description of workflows for
care processes that can be used to guide
decisions of where and how to
incorporate health information
technology. This Request for
Information is part of a three-pronged
effort to scan the environment, the
literature and knowledgeable and
interested parties to produce a useful
list of resources that may assist smalland medium-sized medical practices
and clinics to consider the utility and
potential effectiveness of incorporating
health IT into the way they practice and
communicate patient information. The
responses to this request for information
will be considered for reference and
possible incorporation into an electronic
toolkit to be made available on the
Internet to assist small- and mediumsized practices in analyzing or
