Small Health Care Provider Quality
Improvement Program. OMB No. 0915xxxx—NEW.
Abstract: This program is authorized
by Title III, Public Health Service Act,
Section 330A(g) (42 U.S.C. 254c(g)), as
amended by Section 201, Public Law
107–251, and Section 4, Public Law
110–355. This authority directs the
Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) to
support grants that expand access to,
coordinate, contain the cost of, and
improve the quality of essential health
care services, including preventive and
emergency services, through the
development of health care networks in
rural and frontier areas and regions.
Across these various programs, the
authority allows HRSA to provide funds
to rural and frontier communities to
support the direct delivery of health
care and related services, to expand
existing services, or to enhance health
service delivery through education,
promotion, and prevention programs.
The purpose of the Small Health Care
Provider Quality Improvement Grant
(Rural Quality) Program is to provide
support to rural primary care providers
for implementation of quality
improvement activities. The goal of the
program is to promote the development
of an evidence-based culture and
delivery of coordinated care in the
primary care setting. Additional
objectives of the program include:
Improved health outcomes for patients;
enhanced chronic disease management;
and better engagement of patients and
their caregivers. Organizations
participating in the program are
required to utilize an evidence-based
quality improvement model, perform
tests of change focused on
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
improvement, and use health
information technology (HIT) to collect
and report data. HIT may include an
electronic patient registry (EPR) or an
electronic health record (EHR), and is a
critical component for improving
quality and patient outcomes. With HIT
it is possible to generate timely and
meaningful data, which helps providers
track and plan care.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: ORHP collects this
information to quantify the impact of
grant funding on access to health care,
quality of services, and improvement of
health outcomes. ORHP uses the data
for program improvement and grantees
use the data for performance tracking
and improvement.
