Information Collection Request Title:
National Survey on Health Information
Exchange in Clinical Laboratories.
Abstract: ONC seeks approval to
collect key data from a relatively small
sample of clinical laboratories
nationwide for the Evaluation of the
State Health Information Exchange
Cooperative Agreement Program. 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 being sent
electronically in coded format to
ordering physicians.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: A key goal of the State
Health Information Exchange
Cooperative Agreement Program is to
promote the electronic exchange of
structured test results from clinical
laboratories to healthcare providers.
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.
Likely Respondents: There will be two
similar versions of the questionnaire—
one for hospital-based labs and one for
independent labs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
