Sickle Cell Disease Treatment
Demonstration Regional Collaborative
Program.
OMB No.: 0906–xxxx–New.
Abstract: The Sickle Cell Disease
Treatment Demonstration Regional
Collaborative Program (SCDTDRCP) was
reauthorized and amended in 2018 by
the Sickle Cell Disease and Other
Heritable Blood Disorders Research,
Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment
Act (Pub. L. 115–327), 42 U.S.C. 300b–
5. The purpose of the proposed data
collection is to monitor the progress of
the SCDTDRCP in improving health
outcomes in individuals living with
sickle cell disease.
The goals of the program are to
improve health outcomes in individuals
with sickle cell disease; reduce
morbidity and mortality caused by
SUMMARY:

sickle cell disease; reduce the number of
individuals with sickle cell receiving
care only in emergency departments;
and improve the quality of coordinated
and comprehensive services to
individuals with sickle cell and their
families. The program funds five
grantees to establish regional networks
to provide leadership and support for
regional and statewide activities in
sickle cell disease. The grantees develop
and establish systemic mechanisms to
improve the treatment of sickle cell
disease, by: (1) Increasing the number of
providers treating individuals with
sickle cell disease using the National
Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
Evidence-Based Management of Sickle
Cell Disease Expert Panel Report; (2)
using tele-mentoring, telemedicine and
other provider support strategies to
increase the number of providers
administering evidence-based sickle cell
care; and (3) developing and
implementing strategies to improve
access to quality care with emphasis on
individual and family engagement/
partnership, adolescent transitions to
adult life, and care in a medical home.
The SCDTDRCP is designed to improve
access to services for individuals with
sickle cell disease, improve and expand
patient and provider education, and
improve and expand the continuity and
coordination of service delivery for
individuals with sickle cell disease and
sickle cell trait. Per the statutory
requirement, the data collected will be
used to evaluate the program and will
be published in a report to Congress.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the
proposed data collection is to monitor
the progress of the SCDTDRCP in
improving care and health outcomes for
individuals living with sickle cell
disease/trait and monitor grantee
progress in meeting the goals of the
program. Each regional grantee will
conduct one quality improvement
initiative for hydroxyurea utilization
among individuals with sickle cell
disease. Grantees must conduct an
additional quality improvement
initiative on one of these topics: (1)
Pneumococcal vaccinations, (2)
Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound (TCD)
screening, or (3) transition planning.
Grantees are encouraged to conduct
additional clinical outcome quality
improvement (QI) initiatives according
to their ability. The regional grantees
will also survey providers annually to
assess provider comfort with treating
individuals with sickle cell disease,
awareness of the guidelines and
involvement in Project ECHO
(Extension of Community Health
Outcomes) and other program activities.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 300b–5(b)(3)(B),
the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment
Demonstration Regional Collaborative
Program’s National Coordinating Center
(NCC) will work with the grantees to
gather data and prepare a Report to
Congress at the conclusion of the
program. Additional information
regarding the data collection activities is
below:
Provider Survey
Regional grantees will administer the
Provider Survey annually to providers
within their region. The Provider
Survey is a 13 item questionnaire that
collects information on the provider
type, their utilization of telementoring,
and aggregate de-identified patient-level
data. The number of states participating
within a region may range from 5 to 17
states. Data from the Provider Survey
will be aggregated by the regional
grantee and submitted to the NCC.
Quality Improvement
As part of the requirement for funding
under the grant, each regional grantee is
required to conduct at least two quality
improvement initiatives within their
region. All grantees are required to
conduct a quality improvement
initiative on increasing the use of
hydroxyurea. Grantees must conduct an
additional quality improvement
initiative on one of these topics: (1)
Pneumococcal vaccinations, (2) TCD
screening, or (3) transition planning.
Each regional grantee will collect QI
data from participating providers and
medical centers within their region and
aggregate the data for submission to the
NCC. Specific quality improvement data
will be extracted from patients’ charts
quarterly, either manually or via
electronic health records (EHR). This
will require an initial set-up time in
year 1 to develop data collection and
reporting protocols for manual or
electronic collection for the quality
improvement project(s) that each
regional grantee decides to measure.
This initial set-up time has been
included in the burden estimates listed
in the chart.
Likely Respondents: Providers who
treat individuals with sickle cell disease
will complete the Provider Survey. The
five regional grantees will aggregate
these data and submit to the NCC. The
grantees will also aggregate data from
medical record extraction for the quality
improvement 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 purposes
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

Information Collection Request Title: Sickle Cell Disease Treatment
Demonstration Regional Collaborative Program.
OMB No.: 0906-xxxx-New.
Abstract: The Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Regional
Collaborative Program (SCDTDRCP) was reauthorized and amended in 2018
by the Sickle Cell Disease and Other Heritable Blood Disorders
Research, Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment Act (Pub. L. 115-
327), 42 U.S.C. 300b-5. The purpose of the proposed data collection is
to monitor the progress of the SCDTDRCP in improving health outcomes in
individuals living with sickle cell disease.
The goals of the program are to improve health outcomes in
individuals with sickle cell disease; reduce morbidity and mortality
caused by
[[Page 3936]]
sickle cell disease; reduce the number of individuals with sickle cell
receiving care only in emergency departments; and improve the quality
of coordinated and comprehensive services to individuals with sickle
cell and their families. The program funds five grantees to establish
regional networks to provide leadership and support for regional and
statewide activities in sickle cell disease. The grantees develop and
establish systemic mechanisms to improve the treatment of sickle cell
disease, by: (1) Increasing the number of providers treating
individuals with sickle cell disease using the National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute (NHLBI) Evidence-Based Management of Sickle Cell
Disease Expert Panel Report; (2) using tele-mentoring, telemedicine and
other provider support strategies to increase the number of providers
administering evidence-based sickle cell care; and (3) developing and
implementing strategies to improve access to quality care with emphasis
on individual and family engagement/partnership, adolescent transitions
to adult life, and care in a medical home. The SCDTDRCP is designed to
improve access to services for individuals with sickle cell disease,
improve and expand patient and provider education, and improve and
expand the continuity and coordination of service delivery for
individuals with sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait. Per the
statutory requirement, the data collected will be used to evaluate the
program and will be published in a report to Congress.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of the
proposed data collection is to monitor the progress of the SCDTDRCP in
improving care and health outcomes for individuals living with sickle
cell disease/trait and monitor grantee progress in meeting the goals of
the program. Each regional grantee will conduct one quality improvement
initiative for hydroxyurea utilization among individuals with sickle
cell disease. Grantees must conduct an additional quality improvement
initiative on one of these topics: (1) Pneumococcal vaccinations, (2)
Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound (TCD) screening, or (3) transition
planning. Grantees are encouraged to conduct additional clinical
outcome quality improvement (QI) initiatives according to their
ability. The regional grantees will also survey providers annually to
assess provider comfort with treating individuals with sickle cell
disease, awareness of the guidelines and involvement in Project ECHO
(Extension of Community Health Outcomes) and other program activities.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 300b-5(b)(3)(B), the Sickle Cell Disease
Treatment Demonstration Regional Collaborative Program's National
Coordinating Center (NCC) will work with the grantees to gather data
and prepare a Report to Congress at the conclusion of the program.
Additional information regarding the data collection activities is
below:
Provider Survey
Regional grantees will administer the Provider Survey annually to
providers within their region. The Provider Survey is a 13 item
questionnaire that collects information on the provider type, their
utilization of telementoring, and aggregate de-identified patient-level
