2014. The HITECH Act builds on
existing federal efforts to encourage
health IT adoption and use, and
contains provisions that are expected to
promote the widespread adoption of
health IT among health care providers.
Health IT experts agree that HITECH
stimulus funds are likely to improve
how physicians practice medicine for
Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries
and, ultimately, for advancing patientcentered medical care for all Americans.
However, there is an evidence gap about
patients’ preferences and perceptions of
delivery of health care services by
providers who have adopted EHR
systems in their practices.
The goal of the Patient Perceptions of
the Delivery of Health Care through the
Use of an Electronic Health Record
(Patient Perceptions of EHR) Study is to
help policymakers understand how
primary care practices’ use of electronic
health records (EHRs) affects
consumers’ satisfaction with (1) their
medical care, (2) communication with
their doctor, and (3) coordination of
care. The research questions for the
proposed Patient Perceptions of EHR
Study are motivated by a concern that
patients may have negative experiences
as practices begin to use EHRs.

Assessment for 2009–H1N1 Influenza
Serious Illness, OMB No. 0990–0344
Extension HHS Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
Response (ASPR), Office of
Preparedness and Emergency
Operations (OPEO).
Abstract: The Office of the Secretary
(OS) is requesting clearance by the
Office of Management and Budget to
extend data collection regarding the
status of the health care system. ASPR/
OPEO received expedited clearance for
data collection during the 2009–H1N1
pandemic. Since September 2009 HHS
has collected data on bed availability,
health care system resource needs such
as ventilators and health care system
stress such as implementation of surge
strategies. These data have proven
useful to ASPR in fulfilling its
responsibilities for preparedness and
response.
Pursuant to section 2811 of the PHS
Act, the ASPR serves as the principal
advisor to the Secretary on all matters
related to Federal public health and
medical preparedness and response for
public health emergencies. In addition
to other tasks, the ASPR coordinates
with State, local, and tribal public
health officials and healthcare systems
to ensure effective integration of Federal
public health and medical assets during
an emergency. ASPR’s National Hospital
Preparedness Program (HPP) awards
cooperative agreements to each of the 50
states, the Pacific Islands, and U.S.
territories (for a total of 62 awardees) to
improve surge capacity and enhance
community and hospital preparedness
for public health emergencies. These 62
awardees are responsible for enhancing
the preparedness of the nation’s nearly
6,000 hospitals. These awards are
authorized under section 391C–2 of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act.
For this data collection the situation
will dictate how often the data will be
collected using the Web-based interface
known as HAvBED. For a large scale
emergency data will be collected
nationally from all 62 HPP awardees to
include all 6,000 hospitals in HAvBED
system. For smaller scale events data
collection will be targeted to individual
states or regions. Data may also be
gathered during exercises. Notifications
for data collection are sent to the
affected states through the HPP program
staff. The data gathered from the
hospitals are reported to the HHS
Secretary’s Operations Center to inform
situational awareness and national
preparedness. During the 2009–H1N1
response nation-wide data were
collected weekly for 3 months and then
twice monthly for 3 months. Since the
HAvBED data collection is activated in
response to emergencies it is impossible
to predict the exact frequency of data
collection. It is anticipated that the
minimal data request will be a national
data call of all awardees and hospitals
once per month throughout the year. If
the seriousness of the stress on the
hospitals increases up to daily reporting
may be requested.
Depending on the nature of the
existing systems at the hospitals, the
data may be obtained manually or
readily available electronically through
existing systems. States would have
their own procedures for training staff
on how to use their existing systems, so
there would not be an additional
training burden for learning those
systems. For manual data collection
using the HAvBED system, personnel
have already been trained for the 2009–
H1N1 data collection. Only newly hired
personnel would require training. The
system is easy to use and intuitive.
There is a user guide that provides
information to help people quickly
understand how to use the system.
Based on the experience of the system
administrator in working with users,
training time to learn the HAvBED data
entry procedures is no more than one
hour. On average it takes 40 minutes of
explanation and 20 minutes of hands on
practice with the training site.
The actual data collection time for the
hospitals is approximately 1 hour and
the states will spend approximately 3
hours compiling the information from
all of the hospitals in their state/
territory. For automated systems the
time would be less. The frequency of
data collection will depend on the
number of emergencies and exercises
throughout the year. It is not possible to
predict the exact number, but it is
estimated that data collection will range
from 12 per year (once per month) to a
maximum of 102 times per year (daily
for 3 months, twice monthly for 3
months and monthly for 6 months). The
cost model assumes the maximal annual
estimated burden, but is likely to be
much less than the estimate.
