Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 140 / Wednesday, July 22, 2015 / Notices
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The proposed study will
provide HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB)
and policymakers with a better
understanding of how the RWHAP
currently provides primary and
preventative care to PLWH. The first
online survey will be targeted to clinic
directors from a sample of about 160
Ryan White-funded clinics and will
collect data on care models used;
primary care services, including
preventive services; and coordination of
care. Data collected from this survey
will provide a general overview of the
various HIV care models used as well as
insight to possible facilitators and
barriers to providing primary and
preventative care services. More indepth data collection will be conducted
with a smaller number of 30 clinics
representing clinic type (publicly
funded community health organization,
other community-based organization,
health department, and hospital or
university-based) and size. There will be
three data collection instruments used:
(1) An online survey completed by three
clinicians at each of the clinics
and changes to the Ryan White Program
in this new era when the well-being of
PLWH demands a more complex and
long-term HIV care model.
Likely Respondents: Clinics funded by
the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
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.
Total Estimated Annualized burden
hours:
(clinician survey); (2) a data extraction
of select primary and preventative care
services; and (3) a telephone interview
with the medical director. The clinician
survey will provide a more in-depth
look at the clinic protocols and
strategies and how they are being used
and implemented by the clinicians. The
data extraction will provide quantitative
information on the provision of select
primary and preventative care services
within a certain time period. With these
data, the study team can assess the
accuracy of information provided in the
online surveys on the provision of care
as well as the frequency at which
primary and preventative care
screenings are provided. Lastly, the
interviews with the medical director
will allow the study team to follow-up
on the results of the clinician survey
and data extraction and collect
qualitative data and more in-depth
details on the provision of primary and
preventative care services from a clinic
wide perspective, specifically any
facilitators and barriers.
These data will provide HAB the
background to make informed policies

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
