Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13), the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes periodic summaries

Proposed Project: Cultural and
Linguistic Competency and Health
Literacy Data Collection Checklist
(OMB No. 0915–xxxx)—[New]
The vision of the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA) is
‘‘Healthy Communities, Healthy
People.’’ In addition, the HRSA mission
statement is ‘‘To improve health and
achieve health equity through access to
quality services, a skilled health
workforce and innovative programs.’’
This is the framework that supports a
health care system that assures access to
comprehensive, culturally competent,
quality care.
Performance measures have been
helpful for HRSA to assess the progress
of each grantee. The measure used will
be the degree to which HRSA-funded
Number of
respondents
Instrument
Responses
per
respondent
programs have incorporated cultural
and linguistic competence and health
literacy elements into their policies,
guidelines, contracts and training.
HRSA Bureaus/Offices shall be
encouraged to incorporate this
performance measure or a modified
version of this measure into their
funding opportunity announcements
either as a stand-alone or integrated
measure.
Using a scale of 0–3, the grantee may
use the Cultural and Linguistic
Competency and Health Literacy Data
Collection Checklist to assess if
specified cultural/linguistic competence
and health literacy elements have been
incorporated into their policies,
guidelines, contracts and training. Each
HRSA program may add data sources
and year of data used for scoring to
provide a rationale for determining a
score, and/or applicability of elements
to a specific program.
The goal of this checklist is to
increase the number of HRSA-funded
programs that have integrated both
cultural and linguistic competence, as
well as health literacy, into their
policies, guidelines, contracts and
training. In addition, variations of the
proposed tool have proven useful for
grantees’ self-assessment. This proposed
tool can also offer insights into technical
assistance challenges and opportunities.
