Information Collection Request Title:
Special Study—Emerging Issues
Related to Affordable Care Act
Implementation: The Future of Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Services: A Snapshot
of Outpatient Ambulatory Medical Care
OMB No. 0915–xxxx–New.
Abstract: The Health Resources and
Services Administration, HIV/AIDS
Bureau (HRSA/HAB) administers the
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
(RWHAP) authorized under Title XXVI
of the Public Health Service Act as
amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Treatment Extension Act of 2009. This
program provides HIV-related services
in the United States for individuals who
do not have sufficient health care
coverage or financial resources for
coping with HIV disease. Starting
January 1, 2014, the Affordable Care Act
will begin making health care coverage
available to many HIV-positive
individuals who did not previously
have access to such coverage. This
Affordable Care Act expansion of health
coverage will impact a significant
portion of RWHAP’s traditional clients
who will be moving into third party
reimbursement care. The transition will
require increased support and
coordination to ensure clients do not
experience gaps in coverage or gaps in
care. The purpose of this evaluation
study is to assess the current status of
Ryan White HIV/AIDS program services
during the early and later stages of
Affordable Care Act implementation
and to collect information on service
provisions, quality of care, barriers,
gaps, and challenges related to
Affordable Care Act implementation.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Affordable Care Act
will offer new options for obtaining
health care services for many
individuals with HIV. Due to these
changes, additional information
concerning staffing, continuity and
coordination of care, and utilization of
RWHAP funds to provide essential
services is necessary. Data from this
evaluation study will be used to assess
the current status of Ryan White HIV/
AIDS program services during the early
(January 2014–June 2014) and later (July
2014–December 2014) stages of
Affordable Care Act implementation
and how well the RWHAP is positioned
to improve clinical outcomes, including
viral suppression, retention to care, and
linkage to care services.
Likely Respondents: HIV/AIDS Care
Providers.
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 Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.
