proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the

L. 104–13), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. To request more

Proposed Project: HIV Clinician
Workforce Study (OMB No. 0915–NEW)
HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) is
planning to conduct a 24-month HIV
clinician workforce study to provide
HRSA and other state and federal
agencies with national and state-level
estimates of the number of primary care
clinicians currently providing medical
care to people living with HIV or AIDS
in the United States, as well as
projections of the magnitude of the
expected shortage or surplus of HIVrelated primary care clinicians through
2015.
The study will focus on the supply
and demand of health professionals who
independently manage patients with
HIV/AIDS. The study will have two
main components:
a. Design and implementation of a
forecasting model to estimate and
project the supply of and demand for
HIV clinicians at the national and
regional levels; and
b. Implementation of two surveys to
collect the information needed to
develop HIV-specific input parameters
for the forecasting model, as well as to
help address other research questions of
the study.
HRSA is requesting OMB approval to
conduct a HIV clinician survey and a
HIV practice survey. The HIV clinician
survey will focus on the individual
provider of care and will include
questions related to:
a. The clinician’s age, gender, medical
profession, and medical specialty;
b. The number of hours spent in
direct patient care;
c. The size and characteristics of HIV
patient load;
d. The primary practice
characteristics and patient management
strategies; and
e. The plans to increase or decrease
number of hours spent in direct patient
care, as well as plans for retirement.
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The HIV practice survey will also
focus on the practice administrator and
will include questions related to type
and size of clinic, clinic specialty and
affiliation, number and acuity of
patients, number and composition of
staff, type of staffing model and patient
management strategies, meaningful use
of electronic medical record systems, as
well as appointment scheduling
practices and policies. HRSA also plans
to conduct web/paper surveys with
computer-assisted telephone
interviewing follow-up.
HRSA will use claims data,
supplemented with a list of members of
HIV medical societies, attendees at the
2010 HIV clinical conference, and
participants in regional AIDS Education
and Training Center-sponsored training
sessions, to identify the frame of
clinicians (physicians and nonphysician clinicians) in all 50 states and
the District of Columbia who provide a
significant amount of medical care to
patients with HIV or AIDS, based on
diagnostic, procedural, and drug codes
associated with the claims. By using a
national probability sampling strategy,
the results of the clinician survey can be
used to generate national and regional
estimates of HIV clinician supply.
HRSA will use quantitative and
qualitative methods to document and
quantify the extent of the HIV clinician
workforce surplus or shortage, predict
the future requirements for and supply
of HIV clinicians, and identify best
practice models and strategies for
expanding the capacity of HIV practices
and providers to meet the growing
demand for care.
The ultimate goal of the study will be
to develop proposed action steps that
HRSA and other federal and state
agencies can use to enhance the
capacity of the HIV clinician workforce
to achieve the access targets set forth in
the 2010 White House Office of HIV/
AIDS Policy’s National HIV/AIDS
Strategy and Implementation Plan.
The annual estimate of burden of the
two surveys is as follows:
