Reduction Act of 1995 which requires
60 days for public comment on
proposed information collection
projects, the Indian Health Service (IHS)
is publishing for comment a summary of
a proposed information collection to be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review.
Proposed Collection
Title: 0917–0009, ‘‘Indian Health
Service Medical Staff Credentials and
Privileges Files.’’ Type of Information
Collection Request: Extension, without
revision, of currently approved
information collection, 0917–0009,
‘‘Indian Health Service Medical Staff
Credentials and Privileges Files.’’ Form
Numbers: 0917–0009. Need and Use of
Information Collection: This collection
of information is used to evaluate
individual health care providers
applying for medical staff privileges at
IHS health care facilities. The IHS
operates health care facilities that
provide health care services to
American Indians and Alaska Natives.
To provide these services, the IHS
employs (directly and under contract)
several categories of health care
providers including: Physicians (M.D.
and D.O.), dentists, psychologists,
optometrists, podiatrists, audiologists,
physician assistants, certified registered
nurse anesthetists, nurse practitioners,
and certified nurse midwives. IHS
policy specifically requires physicians
and dentists to be members of the health
care facility medical staff where they
practice. Health care providers become
medical staff members, depending on
the local health care facility’s
capabilities and medical staff bylaws.
There are three types of IHS medical
staff applicants: (1) Health care
providers applying for direct
employment with IHS; (2) contractors
who will not seek to become IHS
employees; and (3) employed IHS health
care providers who seek to transfer
between IHS health care facilities.
National health care standards
developed by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services, the Joint
Commission, and other accrediting
organizations require health care
facilities to review, evaluate and verify
the credentials, training and experience
of medical staff applicants prior to
granting medical staff privileges. In
order to meet these standards, IHS
health care facilities require all medical
staff applicants to provide information
concerning their education, training,
licensure, and work experience and any
adverse disciplinary actions taken
against them. This information is then
verified with references supplied by the
applicant and may include: former
employers, educational institutions,
licensure and certification boards, the
American Medical Association, the
Federation of State Medical Boards, the
National Practitioner Data Bank, and the
applicants themselves.
In addition to the initial granting of
medical staff membership and clinical
privileges, the Joint Commission
standards require that a review of the
medical staff be conducted not less than
Estimated
number of
respondents
Data collection instrument(s)
every two years. This review evaluates
the current competence of the medical
staff and verifies whether they are
maintaining the licensure or
certification requirements of their
specialty.
The medical staff credentials and
privileges records are maintained at the
health care facility where the health
care provider is a medical staff member.
The establishment of these records at
IHS health care facilities is a Joint
Commission requirement. Prior to the
establishment of this Joint Commission
requirement, the degree to which
medical staff applications were
maintained at all health care facilities in
the United States that are verified for
completeness and accuracy varied
greatly across the Nation.
The application process has been
streamlined and is using information
technology to make the application
electronically available on the Internet.
The application may be found at the

Need and Use of Information
Collection: This study seeks to evaluate
the management, effectiveness, and
outcomes of the Brain Disorders in the
Developing World extramural research
program administered by the John E.
Fogarty International Center of the NIH.
The purpose of the Brain Disorders in
the Developing World Program is to
develop collaborative research and
capacity building projects on brain
disorders throughout life relevant to
low- and middle-income countries.
Awardees are expected to develop
innovative projects that contribute to
the long-term goal of building
sustainable research capacity in nervous
system function and impairment
throughout life. Between FY 2003 and
2012, a total of 132 awards were made
under the Brain Disorders program, and
the total investment by Fogarty and its
partners at NIH has been approximately
$75 million. The findings of this
evaluation study will provide valuable
information concerning: (1) Whether
and how the program has met its goal
of supporting research and research
capacity-building on brain disorders in
low- and middle-income countries; (2)
the extent to which the program as
implemented functions efficiently and
effectively; (3) the extent to which the
program is consistent with the strategic
priorities of Fogarty and its partners at
NIH; (4) opportunities to improve upon
the current implementation of the
program if NIH chooses to continue
supporting it; and (5) models, best
practices, and lessons learned that may
be applicable to other NIH programs,
now and in the future.
OMB approval is requested for 1 year.
There are no costs to respondents other
