SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Health Care Services Outreach
Program Performance Improvement and
Measurement Systems (PIMS) Measures.
OMB No.: 0915–0009—Revision.
Abstract: The Rural Health Care
Services Outreach (Outreach) Program is
authorized by Section 330A(e) of the
Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42
U.S.C. 254c(e)), as amended, to
‘‘promote rural health care services
outreach by expanding the delivery of
health care services to include new and
enhanced services in rural areas.’’ The
goals for the Outreach Program are as
follows: (1) Expand the delivery of
health care services in rural
communities; (2) deliver health care
services through a strong consortium, in
which every consortium member
organization is actively involved and
engaged in the planning and delivery of
services; (3) utilize and/or adapt an
evidence-based or promising practice
model(s) in the delivery of health care
services; and (4) improve population
health, demonstrate health outcomes
and sustainability.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The PIMS measures for the
Outreach Program enable HRSA and the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to
capture awardee-level and aggregate
data that illustrate the impact and scope
of federal funding. The collection of this
information helps further inform and
substantiate the focus and objectives of
the grant program. The measures
encompass the following topics: (a)
Access to care; (b) population
demographics; (c) consortium/network;
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
(d) sustainability; and (f) project specific
domains.
There are proposed revisions to the
previously approved Outreach Program
PIMS measures. The proposed Outreach
PIMS measures reflect a reduced
number of measures including the
following: 16 process measures
applicable to all awardees (previously
22), consolidation of the project-specific
measures (currently 7, previously 8),
and 8 clinical measures (previously 9).
In addition, the proposed measures
include the addition of two Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
calculators: The CDC Heart Age
calculator and the CDC BMI Percentile
Calculator for Child and Teen. Data for
both calculators will be collected on an
aggregate level and only from awardees
with applicable projects; the CDC Heart
Age calculator is specific to awardees
participating in the Health Improvement
Special Project while the CDC BMI
calculator is for projects focusing on
childhood obesity.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
would be award recipients of the Rural
Health Care Services Outreach 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. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
