Small Health Care Provider Quality
Improvement Program, OMB No. 0915–
0387 ¥ Extension
Abstract: This program is authorized
by Title III, Public Health Service Act,
Section 330A(g) (42 U.S.C. 254c(g)), as
amended by Section 201, Public Law
107–251, and Section 4, Public Law
110–355. This authority directs the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy
(FORHP) to support grants that expand
access to, coordinate, contain the cost

of, and improve the quality of essential
health care services, including
preventive and emergency services,
through the development of health care
networks in rural and frontier areas and
regions. The authority allows HRSA to
provide funds to rural and frontier
communities to support the direct
delivery of health care and related
services, expand existing services, or
enhance health service delivery through
education, promotion, and prevention
programs.
The purpose of the Small Health Care
Provider Quality Improvement Grant
(Rural Quality) Program is to provide
support to rural primary care providers
for implementation of quality
improvement activities. The program
promotes the development of an
evidence-based culture and delivery of
coordinated care in the primary care
setting. Additional objectives of the
program include improved health
outcomes for patients, enhanced chronic
disease management, and better
engagement of patients and their
caregivers. Organizations participating
in the program are required to use an
evidence-based quality improvement
model; develop, implement and assess
effectiveness of quality improvement
initiatives; and use health information
technology (HIT) to collect and report
data. HIT may include an electronic
patient registry or an electronic health
record, and is a critical component for
improving quality and patient
outcomes. With HIT, it is possible to
generate timely and meaningful data,
which helps providers track and plan
care.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: FORHP collects this
information to quantify the impact of
grant funding on access to health care,
quality of services, and improvement of
health outcomes. FORHP uses the data
for program improvement, and grantees
use the data for performance tracking.
No changes are proposed from the
current data collection effort. A 60-day
notice was published in the Federal
Register (81 FR 95621, (December 28,
2016)). There were no public comments.
Likely Respondents: Grantees of the
Small Health Care Provider Quality
Improvement 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. Burden is decreasing from
480 to 256 hours due to a decrease in
number of respondents, while the
amount of time per respondent (8 hours)
remains the same. The total annual
burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
