Proposed Project
‘‘Implementation of TeamSTEPPS in
Primary Care Settings (ITS–PC)’’
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection. As
part of its effort to fulfill its mission,
AHRQ, in collaboration with the
Department of Defense’s (DoD) Tricare
Management Activity, developed
TeamSTEPPS® (Team Strategies and
Tools for Enhancing Performance and
Patient Safety) to provide an evidencebased suite of tools and strategies for
training teamwork-based patient safety
to health care professionals.
TeamSTEPPS includes multiple toolkits
which are all tied to, or are variants of,
the core curriculum. In addition to the
core curriculum, TeamSTEPPS
resources have been developed for
primary care, rapid response systems,
long-term care, and patients with
limited English proficiency.
The main objective of the
TeamSTEPPS program is to improve
patient safety by training health care
staff in various teamwork,
communication, and patient safety
concepts, tools, and techniques and
ultimately helping to build national
capacity for supporting teamwork-based
patient safety efforts in health care
organizations.
Created in 2007, AHRQ’s National
Implementation Program has trained
Master Trainers who have stimulated
the use and adoption of TeamSTEPPS in
health care delivery systems. These
individuals were trained using the
TeamSTEPPS core curriculum at
regional training centers across the U.S.
AHRQ has also provided technical
E:\FR\FM\27JYN1.SGM
27JYN1
34955
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 143 / Thursday, July 27, 2017 / Notices
assistance and consultation on
implementing TeamSTEPPS and has
developed user networks, various
educational venues and other channels
of learning for continued support and
the improvement of teamwork in health
care. Since the inception of the National
Implementation Program, AHRQ has
trained more than 8,000 participants to
serve as TeamSTEPPS Master Trainers.
Most of the participants in these
training programs come from hospital
settings, because the TeamSTEPPS core
curriculum is most aligned with that
context. Given the success of the
National Implementation Program in
hospital settings, AHRQ launched an
effort to provide TeamSTEPPS training
to primary care health professionals
using the TeamSTEPPS in Primary Care
version of the curriculum, which is now
referred to as ‘‘TeamSTEPPS for OfficeBased Care.’’
Under this new initiative, primary
care practice facilitators will be trained
through online instruction. Upon
completion of the course, these
individuals will be Master Trainers who
will train the staff at primary care
practices and implement or support the
implementation of TeamSTEPPS tools
and strategies in primary care practices.
As part of this initiative, AHRQ seeks
to conduct an evaluation of the
TeamSTEPPS for Office-Based Care
training program. This evaluation seeks
to understand the effectiveness of the
TeamSTEPPS for Office-Based Care
training and how trained practice
facilitators implement TeamSTEPPS in
primary care practices.
This research has the following goals:
(1) Conduct a formative assessment of
the TeamSTEPPS for Office-Based Care
training program to determine what
revisions and improvement should be
made to the training and how it is
delivered, and
(2) Identify how trained participants
use and implement the TeamSTEPPS
tools and resources in primary care
settings.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, the Health
Research & Educational Trust and its
subcontractor, IMPAQ International,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
health care and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of health care
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
This is a continuation of data
collection for the purpose of conducting
an evaluation of the TeamSTEPPS for
Office-Based Care training program. The
evaluation is formative in nature as
AHRQ seeks information to improve the
delivery of the online training.
To conduct the evaluation, the
TeamSTEPPS for Office-Based Care
Post-Training Survey will be
administered to all individuals who
complete the TeamSTEPPS for OfficeBased Care training six months after
training.
The TeamSTEPPS for Office-Based
Care Post-Training Survey will be
administered via the Web to
participants.
In order to reduce respondent burden,
the training participant questionnaire
will be administered via the Web.
Participant information acquired by
HRET and its partner Reingold, Inc.
when participants enroll in the
TeamSTEPPS for Office-Based Care
training program will be used to
develop the distribution lists. Each
potential respondent will receive up to
five email communications to encourage
participation (i.e., an advance notice of
the questionnaire, an initial invitation to
complete the questionnaire, and three
follow-up emails to remind respondents
to complete the questionnaire).
Using an online system for data
collection, rather than administering a
paper-based questionnaire, will make
completing and submitting the
questionnaire less time consuming for
respondents. Any skip patterns
included in the questionnaire (i.e.,
questions that are appropriate only for
a subset of the respondents) will be
automatically programmed into the
Web-based form of the questionnaire,
thereby eliminating any confusion
during questionnaire completion. In
addition, the contractors can also ensure
that important items are not
inadvertently skipped or ignored by
setting software requirements to ensure
proper completion of questionnaires
based on specific respondent selections.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in the
study. The TeamSTEPPS for OfficeBased Care Post-Training Survey will be
completed by approximately 600
individuals per year. We estimate that
each respondent will require 20 minutes
to complete the survey. The total
annualized burden is estimated to be
200 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden based on the
respondents’ time to participate in the
study. The total cost burden is estimated
to be $24,944.

Proposed Projects
Title: Federal Case Registry (FCR)
OMB No.: 0970–0421.
Description: Established within the
Federal Parent Locator Service (FPLS)
on October 1, 1998, the Federal Case
Registry (FCR) is a database that
contains basic case and participant data
from each of the State Case Registries
(SCRs). The SCRs are central registries
of child support cases and orders in
each state.
The FCR is a national database that
includes all child support cases handled
by state child support agencies (referred
to as IV–D cases), and all support orders
established or modified on or after
October 1, 1998 (referred to as non-IV–
D orders). It assists states in locating
parties that live in different states to
establish, modify, or enforce child
support obligations; establish paternity;
enforce state law regarding parental
kidnapping; and establish or enforce
child custody or visitation
determinations.
When a state sends the FCR
information about persons in a new case
or child support order, this new
information is automatically compared
to existing person information in the
FCR. If matches are found, the FPLS
notifies all appropriate state child
support enforcement agencies of the
record match. In this way, a state will
know if another state has a case or
support order with participants in
common with it, and can take
appropriate action.
The information collection activities
pertaining to the FCR are authorized by:
(1) 42 U.S.C. 653(h), requiring the
establishment of the Federal Case
Registry (FCR) within the Federal Parent
Locator Service (FPLS). (2) 42 U.S.C.
654A(e), requiring State child support
agencies to include a State Case Registry
(SCR) in the state’s automated system.
(3) 42 U.S.C. 654A(f)(1), requiring states
to conduct information comparison
activities between the SCR and the FCR.
Respondents: State Child Support
Agencies.
