$19.2 billion to meet the goal of
meaningful use of certified EHRs for
each person in the United States by
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.

and Response (ASPR), Office of

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 US
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
6000 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 6000 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.

little about why consumers, and
specifically Medicare beneficiaries, elect
to use PHRs and what functionality they
want from a PHR. Understanding these
needs will be critical if HHS and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) are to pursue PHRs as a
tool to empower consumers to manage
their health and have the capability to
link to their provider’s EHR.
In January 2009, CMS launched a new
program in Arizona and Utah, the
Medicare PHR Choice Pilot (PHRC).
This pilot encourages Medicare fee-forservice (FFS) beneficiaries to take
advantage of the newer, more robust
Internet-based tools for tracking their
health and health care services. This is
the first pilot to offer a choice of PHRs
to Medicare FFS beneficiaries, including
PHRs with additional functionality and
direct data linkages for the consumers.
Pilot participants can choose among
GoogleHealthTM, NoMoreClipboardTM,
PassportMDTM, and HealthTrioTM,
competitors in the open PHR market.
HHS’ Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) has
contracted with Mathematica Policy
Research to conduct an evaluation of
this pilot program, including a PHR
enrollee user satisfaction survey to
assess barriers, facilitators, and
satisfaction with the PHRs. A selfadministered paper-and-pencil
instrument will be the primary data
collection mode for the PHRC user
satisfaction survey, with telephone
followup for mail nonrespondents. The
one-time data collection field period is
expected to be 12 weeks in Fall 2010.

Proposed Project: Evaluation of

Abstract: Since 2003, HHS has
worked toward the goal of establishing
electronic, longitudinal health records
for Americans that can be accessed
safely, across the internet, and anytime
and anywhere by patients, doctors, and
other health care providers. In addition
to electronic health records (EHRs),
where health information is created,
stored and accessed mainly by health
care organizations and practitioners,
personal health records (PHRs),
electronic, patient-centered applications
and services, are gaining increasing
recognition and momentum. Current
PHR business models represent broad
and varied uses, from disease
management to health promotion, with
sponsors consisting of commercial
vendors, heath plans, employers, and
health care providers. We know very
