Information Collection Request Title:
Telehealth Resource Center Performance
Measurement Tool, OMB No. 0915–
0361—Revision
Abstract: To ensure the best use of
public funds and to meet the
Government Performance Review Act
(GPRA) requirements, the Federal Office
of Rural Health’s Office for the
Advancement of Telehealth (OAT), in
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collaboration with the Telehealth
Resource Centers (TRCs), created a set of
performance measures that grantees can
use to evaluate the technical assistance
services provided by the TRCs. Grantee
goals are to customize the provision of
telehealth technical assistance across
the country. The TRCs provide technical
assistance to health care organizations,
health care networks, and health care
providers in the implementation of costeffective telehealth programs to serve
rural and medically underserved areas
and populations.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: In order to evaluate
existing programs, data are obtained
from the Performance Improvement
Measurement system (PIMs). The data
are used to measure the effectiveness of
the technical assistance. The tool is also
used to address GPRA initiatives. There
are two data reporting periods each
year; during these biannual reporting,
data are reported for the previous 6
months of activity. Programs have
approximately 6 weeks to enter their
data into the PIMs system during each
biannual reporting period. The
instrument was developed with the
following four goals in mind:
I. improving access to needed services;
II. reducing rural practitioner isolation;
III. improving health system productivity and
efficiency; and
IV. improving patient outcomes.
The TRCs currently report on existing
performance data elements using PIMs.
The current PIMs will continue to be
used to report on new measures. The
performance measures are designed to
assess how the TRC program is meeting
its goals to:
1. Expand the availability of telehealth
services in underserved communities;
2. Improve the quality, efficiency, and
effectiveness of telehealth services;
3. Promote knowledge exchange and
dissemination about efficient and
effective telehealth practices and
technology; and
4. Establish sustainable technical assistance
(TA) centers providing quality, unbiased
TA for the development and expansion
of effective and efficient telehealth
services in underserved communities.
Additionally, the PIMs tool allows
OAT to:
• Fulfill obligations for GPRA and
Program Assessment Rating Tool
requirements and to report to Congress
the value added from the TRC Grant
Program;
• Justify budget requests;
• Collect uniform, consistent data
which enables OAT to monitor
programs;
• Provide guidance to grantees on
important indicators to track over time
