SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
HIV Quality Measures Module OMB No.
0915–XXXX, New
Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (RWHAP) provides entities
funded by the Program with flexibility
to respond effectively to the changing
HIV epidemic, with an emphasis on
providing life-saving and life-extending
services for people living with HIV. All
RWHAP recipients must follow certain
legislative requirements, such as the
establishment of clinical quality
management programs, to assess their
HIV services according to the most
recent Public Health Service guidelines
and to develop strategies to improve
access to quality HIV services. The HIV
Quality Measures Module (HIVQM
Module) is a new voluntary data system
that recipients funded under all Parts of
the RWHAP may use to monitor their
performance in providing quality HIV
services. Recipients may enter data into
the module on their HIV/AIDS Bureau
(HAB) performance measures and then
generate reports to assess their
performance. Recipients may also
compare their performance regionally
and nationally against other recipients.
The HAB performance measures
comprise the following categories: (1)
Core, (2) all ages, (3) adolescent/adult,
(4) HIV-positive children, (5) HIVexposed children, (6) medical case
management, (7) oral health, (8) AIDS
Drug Assistance Program (RWHAP’s
drug assistance program), and (9)
systems-level. HAB created the HIVQM
Module as an online tool to facilitate
recipients in meeting the clinical quality
management program requirement. The
use of the module is voluntary for
RWHAP recipients, but strongly
encouraged.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The HIVQM Module will
provide recipients an easy-to-use and
structured platform to voluntarily
continually monitor their performance
in serving their clients, particularly in
access to care and the provision of
quality HIV services. The main purpose
for the module is to help recipients set
goals and monitor performance
measures and their quality improvement
projects. HRSA expects the HIVQM
Module to better support clinical quality
management, performance
measurement, service delivery, and
client monitoring at both the recipient
and client levels. In addition, for
recipients and sub-recipients
participating in the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Incentive Programs, such
as the Medicare and Medicaid
Electronic Health Records Incentive
Program and the Physician Quality
Reporting System, the module will be
consistent to qualify and comply with
the requirements to receive incentives
from these programs.
The module will be available for data
entry three times a year. The module
will be accessible via the Ryan White
Services Report (RSR), an existing
online tool that grant recipients already
use for required data collection of their
services. Recipients will choose which
performance measures they want to
monitor and enter data accordingly.
Reports or performance measures can be
generated and reviewed by the
recipients and their sub-recipients and
can be compared with other RWHAP
recipients by provider type, by region,
and at the national level.
Likely Respondents: Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program Part A, Part B, Part C, and
Part D recipients and sub-recipients.
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

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

Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, OS

Information Collection Request Title:
Performance Data System (PDS) (OMB
No. 0990–0275).
Abstract: This request for clearance is
to revise data collection activities and
extend by three (3) years a currently
approved collection using the OMB
approved Performance Data System
(PDS) (OMB No. 0990–0275), the tool
used by the Office of Minority Health
(OMH) to collect program management
and performance data for all OMHfunded projects. The revised data
collection activities pertain only to
current questions about grantee use of
social media. The modified social media
questions in PDS will be more
applicable to OMH grantees, more easily
understood, and collect more accurate
quantitative metrics. Grantee data
collection via the UDS (original data
collection system) was first approved by
OMB on June 7, 2004 (OMB No. 0990–
275). OMB approval was also received
for modifications to the UDS (August
23, 2007), which upgraded the data
collection tool from the UDS to the PDS
(August 31, 2010). A 3-year extension
without change of the approved PDS
collection was approved August 1, 2013.
Clearance is due to expire on August 31,
2016.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The clearance is needed to
continue data collection using the PDS,
a system that enables OMH to comply
with Federal reporting requirements and
monitor and evaluate performance by
enabling the efficient collection of
performance-oriented data tied to OMHwide performance reporting needs. The
ability to monitor and evaluate
performance in this manner, and to
work towards continuous program
improvement are basic functions that
OMH must be able to accomplish in
order to carry out its mandate with the
most effective and appropriate use of
resources. The revision of the social
media questions is necessary because
social media platforms, such as
Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, are
becoming increasingly utilized by
grantees for their usability, free access,
and ability to reach a larger audience.
The revised questions will lead to
increased data collection completeness
and quality.
Likely Respondents: Respondents for
this data collection include the project
directors for OMH-funded projects and/
or the date entry persons for each OMHfunded project. Affected public includes
non-profit institutions, State, Local, or
Tribal Governments.
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.
