Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA will use the
proposed information to demonstrate
program accountability and
continuously monitor and provide
oversight to Home Visiting Program
grantees. The information will also be
used to provide quality improvement
guidance and technical assistance to
grantees and help inform the
development of early childhood systems
at the national, state, and local level.
HRSA is seeking to collect demographic,
service utilization, and select clinical
indicators for participants enrolled in
home visiting services. In addition,
HRSA will collect a set of standardized
performance and outcome indicators
that correspond with the statutorily
identified benchmark areas.
Demographic, Service Utilization, and
Clinical Indicators Data
These data will describe the
population served by the MIECHV
Program, including the unduplicated
count of the number of participants and
participant groups by primary insurance
coverage. These data will provide other
socio-demographic characteristics of
program participants and their
utilization of services, such as program
retention. Additionally, these data will
describe several select clinical
indicators of program participants, such
as the percent of eligible participants
who deliver their child preterm. This
information will be collected from
participants once, at enrollment in
home visiting services and aggregated
and reported to HRSA by state/territory
grantees once annually.
Performance and Outcome Benchmark
Data
These data constitute a discrete set of
standardized performance and outcome
indicators that correspond with the
statutorily identified benchmark areas.
These data will provide aggregate totals,
percentages, and rates for performance
and outcome indicators that are salient
to the MIECHV Program, home visiting
services more generally, and the at-risk
populations served. These data will be
collected from participants based on the
appropriate measurement period
defined for each measure and aggregated
and reported to HRSA by state/territory
grantees once annually.
This information will be used to
demonstrate accountability with
legislative and programmatic
requirements. It will also be used to
monitor and provide continued
oversight for grantee performance and to
target technical assistance resources to
grantees. In the future, it is anticipated
the MIECHV funding decisions may be
allocated based on grantee performance,
including on benchmark performance
areas.
Likely Respondents: Home Visiting
Program grantees.
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
