baseline capacity for clinical laboratory
information exchange.
The National Survey on Health
Information Exchange in Clinical
Laboratories will assess and evaluate
the electronic transfer of health
information from clinical laboratories to
ordering physicians. It will focus on two
key measures: (1) Percentage of
laboratory facilities that are able to send
structured lab results electronically to
ordering physicians and (2) Percentage
of lab results that are currently begin
sent electronically in coded format to
ordering physicians.
The anticipated bi-annual data
collection effort will be conducted in
two waves—Wave I in November of
2012 will establish the baseline and
Wave II in 2014 will measure progress.
Information will be collected using a
mail-out/mail-back hard copy
questionnaire with telephone nonresponse follow up. There will be two
similar versions of the questionnaire—
one for hospital-based labs and one for
independent labs. For hospitals, the
burden hours are based on an estimated
length of approximately 20 minutes per
completed survey. ONC will use these
survey findings to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the
baseline level of laboratory information
exchange in order to inform program
activities to promote laboratory
information exchange and provide more
targeted assistance to states and
territories in developing their laboratory
information exchange strategies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project

Synthesis of AHRQ–Funded HAI
Projects
The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) requests that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, AHRQ’s
collection of information for the
Synthesis of AHRQ–Funded HAI
Projects.
For approximately a decade, AHRQ
has conducted research on preventing
healthcare-associated infections (HAIs),
both internally and through contracts
and grants. AHRQ’s grant- and contractsupported projects have been directed at
the major types of HAIs: central-lineassociated bloodstream infections
(CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary
tract infections (CAUTI), surgical site
infections (SSI), ventilator-associated
pneumonia (VAP), methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and
Clostridium difficile (C. diff.). Projects
have addressed the problem of HAIs in
diverse healthcare settings, including
hospitals, ambulatory settings
(ambulatory surgery centers, end-stage
renal disease facilities, and outpatient
clinics and offices), and long-term care
facilities. AHRQ’s portfolio of HAI
projects has emphasized a combination
of research and implementation
initiatives. In the latter category, a major
focus of AHRQ’s efforts has been to
deploy tools that can improve provider
performance and reduce HAIs. Based on
the earlier success of the Michigan
Keystone project, AHRQ has funded
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:14 Jun 19, 2012
Jkt 226001
projects to implement the
Comprehensive Unit-based Safety
Program (CUSP) to address CLABSI and
CAUTI nationwide. Data are now
emerging that demonstrate the success
of CUSP in reducing CLABSI in
hospitals across the nation.
Between 2007 and 2010, AHRQ
funded 40 contracts and 18 grants
focusing on expanding the HAI
knowledge base and implementing HAI
prevention strategies. Today it is
necessary to look across these projects
in order to (1) identify, document, and
synthesize their findings and results to
ensure that AHRQ, healthcare
professionals, and the public can make
best use of these findings and (2)
identify remaining gaps in the HAI
science base to enable AHRQ to fund
future studies that will address these
needs. The synthesis will draw on
several data sources, including
interviews with project leaders. In
addition to learning about studies that
have not published peer-reviewed
manuscripts, the interviews will enable
the project team to delve into project
details that are not typically available in
publications, such as the project leader’s
motivation for responding to the request
for proposal, challenges faced in
implementing the project, changes in
the project’s delivery schedule or work
plan, experts’ views on how HAI
prevention evidence generated by a
specific project fits into the HAI
research agenda more broadly, and
remaining gaps in the HAI knowledge
base.
AHRQ has contracted with IMPAQ
International, LLC, to develop this
synthesis, identify gaps, and promote
the widespread application of
successful HAI prevention approaches.
This research has the following goals:
(1) Identify and document findings and
synthesize results of AHRQ-funded HAI
projects; (2) Disseminate key findings
from the HAI projects; and (3) Identify
remaining gaps in the HAI knowledge
base.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, IMPAQ
International, LLC and its subcontractor,
the RAND Corporation, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research and disseminate
information on healthcare and on
systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42

Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collection will be
implemented:
(1) Interviews with contractors—
Interviews will be conducted with the
project leaders (project directors or
project managers) from 40 HAI
contractors. The purpose of these
interviews is to identify (a) key findings,
(b) gaps in knowledge base, (c) lessons
learned, (d) effective approaches for
preventing and reducing HAIs, and (e)
opportunities for additional projects
focused on generating and
implementing knowledge on preventing
HAIs.
(2) Interviews with grantees—
Interviews will be conducted with the
project leaders (principal investigators)
from 18 HAI grantees. Similar to the
interviews with contractors, the purpose
of these interviews is to identify (a) key
findings, (b) gaps in knowledge base, (c)
lessons learned, (d) effective approaches
for preventing and reducing HAIs, and
(e) opportunities for additional projects
focused on generating and
implementing knowledge on preventing
HAIs. While the goals of the interviews
with contractors and grantees are
similar, the two audiences require
separate interview protocols because
their funding mechanisms and project
structures differ. For example, contracts
have more structured deliverable
schedules than do grants and grants are
more likely than contracts to be on
investigator-initiated topics.
AHRQ will interview key project
leaders to learn about the processes and
methods used, results achieved, and
lessons learned under the AHRQ-funded
HAI contracts and grants. This
information will enable AHRQ to
identify effective approaches for
preventing and reducing HAIs and for
promoting the widespread application
of these approaches. Finally, collecting
data from these audiences will allow
AHRQ to detect gaps in the HAI science
base and identify opportunities for
additional projects focused on
generating and implementing
knowledge on preventing HAIs.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in this
evaluation. Interviews will be
conducted with 40 contractors and 18
grantees and each will last about 90
minutes. The total burden hours are
estimated to be 87.

and the project leaders’ qualifications,
the project leaders were categorized into
three labor categories: Social Scientists
and Related Workers; Epidemiologists;
and Medical Scientists. For example,
one project director conducting a
randomized controlled trial is a
physician and was categorized into the
Medical Scientist labor category. Other
project leaders have advanced degrees
in the social sciences (e.g., gerontology)
or epidemiology and were included in
the Social Scientist or Epidemiologist
labor categories, as appropriate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Synthesis of AHRQ-Funded HAI Projects
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) requests that
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, AHRQ's collection of information for the
Synthesis of AHRQ-Funded HAI Projects.
For approximately a decade, AHRQ has conducted research on
preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), both internally and
through contracts and grants. AHRQ's grant- and contract-supported
projects have been directed at the major types of HAIs: central-line-
associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary
tract infections (CAUTI), surgical site infections (SSI), ventilator-
associated pneumonia (VAP), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA), and Clostridium difficile (C. diff.). Projects have addressed
the problem of HAIs in diverse healthcare settings, including
hospitals, ambulatory settings (ambulatory surgery centers, end-stage

long-term care facilities. AHRQ's portfolio of HAI projects has
emphasized a combination of research and implementation initiatives. In
the latter category, a major focus of AHRQ's efforts has been to deploy
tools that can improve provider performance and reduce HAIs. Based on
the earlier success of the Michigan Keystone project, AHRQ has funded
projects to implement the Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program
(CUSP) to address CLABSI and CAUTI nationwide. Data are now emerging
that demonstrate the success of CUSP in reducing CLABSI in hospitals
across the nation.
Between 2007 and 2010, AHRQ funded 40 contracts and 18 grants
focusing on expanding the HAI knowledge base and implementing HAI
prevention strategies. Today it is necessary to look across these
projects in order to (1) identify, document, and synthesize their
findings and results to ensure that AHRQ, healthcare professionals, and
the public can make best use of these findings and (2) identify
remaining gaps in the HAI science base to enable AHRQ to fund future
studies that will address these needs. The synthesis will draw on
several data sources, including interviews with project leaders. In
addition to learning about studies that have not published peer-
reviewed manuscripts, the interviews will enable the project team to
delve into project details that are not typically available in
publications, such as the project leader's motivation for responding to
the request for proposal, challenges faced in implementing the project,
changes in the project's delivery schedule or work plan, experts' views
on how HAI prevention evidence generated by a specific project fits
into the HAI research agenda more broadly, and remaining gaps in the
HAI knowledge base.
AHRQ has contracted with IMPAQ International, LLC, to develop this
synthesis, identify gaps, and promote the widespread application of
successful HAI prevention approaches. This research has the following
goals: (1) Identify and document findings and synthesize results of
AHRQ-funded HAI projects; (2) Disseminate key findings from the HAI
projects; and (3) Identify remaining gaps in the HAI knowledge base.
This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor, IMPAQ
International, LLC and its subcontractor, the RAND Corporation,
pursuant to AHRQ's statutory authority to conduct and support research
and disseminate information on healthcare and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness and value of
healthcare services and with respect to quality measurement and
improvement. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the following data collection
will be implemented:
(1) Interviews with contractors--Interviews will be conducted with
the project leaders (project directors or project managers) from 40 HAI
contractors. The purpose of these interviews is to identify (a) key
findings, (b) gaps in knowledge base, (c) lessons learned, (d)
effective approaches for preventing and reducing HAIs, and (e)
opportunities for additional projects focused on generating and
implementing knowledge on preventing HAIs.
(2) Interviews with grantees--Interviews will be conducted with the
project leaders (principal investigators) from 18 HAI grantees. Similar
to the interviews with contractors, the purpose of these interviews is
to identify (a) key findings, (b) gaps in knowledge base, (c) lessons
learned, (d) effective approaches for preventing and reducing HAIs, and
(e) opportunities for additional projects focused on generating and
implementing knowledge on preventing HAIs. While the goals of the
interviews with contractors and grantees are similar, the two audiences
require separate interview protocols because their funding mechanisms
and project structures differ. For example, contracts have more
structured deliverable schedules than do grants and grants are more
likely than contracts to be on investigator-initiated topics.
AHRQ will interview key project leaders to learn about the
processes and methods used, results achieved, and lessons learned under
the AHRQ-funded HAI contracts and grants. This information will enable
AHRQ to identify effective approaches for preventing and reducing HAIs
and for promoting the widespread application of these approaches.
Finally, collecting data from these audiences will allow AHRQ to detect
gaps in the HAI science base and identify opportunities for additional
projects focused on generating and implementing knowledge on preventing
HAIs.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated annualized burden hours for the
respondent's time to participate in this evaluation. Interviews will be
conducted with 40 contractors and 18 grantees and each will last about
