Information Collection Request Title:
Chart Abstraction of Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program Data, OMB No. 0906–
xxxx–New.
Abstract: HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states, and local
clinics/community-based organizations
to deliver efficient and effective HIV
care, treatment, and support to lowincome people with HIV. Nearly twothirds of clients (patients) live at or
below 100 percent of the Federal
poverty level and approximately threequarters of RWHAP clients are racial
and ethnic minorities. Since 1990, the
RWHAP has developed a
comprehensive system of HIV service
providers who deliver high quality
direct health care and support services
to over half a million people with HIV—
more than 50 percent of all people with
diagnosed HIV in the United States.
HRSA is required to assess the quality
of care provided by RWHAP grant
recipients. HHS guidelines (e.g.,
Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral
Agents in Adults and Adolescents
Living with HIV; Guidelines for the
Prevention and Treatment of
Opportunistic Infections in HIVInfected Adults and Adolescents; and
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Treatment Guidelines, 2015) and U.S.
Preventative Services Task Force
(USPSTF) guidelines serve as the basis
for assessing the quality of care within
the RWHAP. The purpose of the Chart
Abstraction of RWHAP Data study is to
assess the extent to which the care
provided with funding from the
RWHAP is meeting the HHS and
USPSTF guidelines. The study will
collect data from RWHAP service
providers via a provider screening
phone interview, a provider pre-site
visit interview, and medical records
data abstraction. The data will reflect
the full range of HIV outpatient
ambulatory health services, primary
care, and screening and treatment for
hepatitis, sexually transmitted
infections (STIs), and opioid use
disorder provided through the RWHAP
and allow HRSA to assess the extent to
which care provided with funding
through the RWHAP meets the HHS and
USPSTF guidelines.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: National RWHAP clientlevel data is collected through the
RWHAP Client Level Data Reporting
System. The RWHAP Client Level Data
Reporting System dataset (OMB control
number 0915–0323) is HRSA’s primary
source of annual, client-level data
collected from its nearly 2,000 funded
grant recipients/service providers and
the data have been used to assess the
numbers and types of clients receiving
services and limited HIV outcomes.
However, the RWHAP Client Level Data
Reporting System dataset does not
include relevant data in order to fully
assess the extent to which the care
provided with funding from the
RWHAP is meeting the HHS and
USPSTF guidelines. This proposed new
ICR will provide the full range of HIV
outpatient ambulatory health services,
primary care, and screening and
treatment for hepatitis, STIs, and opioid
use disorder data and allow HRSA to
assess the extent to which care provided
with funding through the RWHAP meets
the HHS and USPSTF guidelines.
Likely Respondents: HRSA RWHAP
Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D service
providers funded to deliver outpatient
ambulatory health services to eligible
clients.
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.

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
