SUMMARY:
Information Collection Request Title:
National Hospital Organ Donation
Campaign Activity Scorecard OMB No.
0915–0373, Revision
Abstract: HRSA’s Hospital Campaign,
a special initiative of the Workplace
Partnership for Life program, enlists the
help of hospitals nationwide to increase
the number of registered organ, eye, and
tissue donors by hosting education and
registry events in their hospitals and
communities. The Activity Scorecard
provides activity ideas to participating
hospitals and assigns points to each
activity. Hospitals that earn a certain
number of points annually are
recognized by HRSA and the campaign’s
national partners.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: There is a substantial
imbalance in the U.S. between the
number of people whose life depends
on an organ transplant (currently about
120,000) and the annual number of
organ donors (approximately 14,000
living and deceased donors). In
response to the need for increased
donation, HRSA conducts public
outreach initiatives to encourage the
American public to enroll in their state
donor registry as future organ donors.
As part of this initiative, HRSA supports
this National Hospital Organ Donation
Campaign to involve hospitals
throughout the nation as partners in the
national effort to educate their staff and
communities about the urgent need for
donors and encourage donor registry
enrollments.
The activity scorecard serves two key
campaign functions: (1) It motivates and
facilitates hospitals’ participation in this
campaign, and (2) it provides the basis
for rewarding hospitals for their
accomplishments. In providing more
than 40 actionable donation promotion
strategies hospitals can choose to
implement, it eases the process of
planning and participation for hospital
teams. In addition, by attaching point
levels to each activity, HRSA uses the
information collected to recognize
hospital achievements at bronze, silver,
gold, and platinum point equivalents
and provides certificates for all
hospitals achieving any recognition
level.
A list of recognized hospitals is
shared with all campaign participants
during monthly webinars, in campaign
e-newsletters, and in communication
pieces sent out by the campaign’s
national partners, which include the
American Hospital Association and the
American Society of Transplantation. In
addition, local donation organizations
and participating state hospital
associations use the results to pay
tribute to HRSA-recognized hospitals in
their local service areas. The
information collected also helps HRSA
identify best practices that are then
shared with all hospital partners on the
monthly webinars. This version of the
scorecard contains two new
opportunities for hospitals to earn
points: A point is awarded for each
donor registration a hospital motivates
and points are awarded for reaching the
hospital’s donor registration goal.
Likely Respondents: Hospital
development and public relations staff
of organ procurement and other
donation organizations, hospital staff
such as nurses or public relations/
communications professionals, and
volunteers that work with the hospitals
on organ donation initiatives.
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.
