SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Abstract: The Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Regional Collaborative Program (SCDTDRCP) was reauthorized by the Sickle Cell Disease and Other Heritable Blood Disorders Research, Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115– 327), which added section 1106 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300b–5. The purpose of the proposed Quality Improvement (QI) and Performance Measures (N) data collection is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SCDTDRCP and how the program can improve the coordination of service delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD), train health professionals to increase access to quality care and collaborate with various stakeholders to optimize health outcomes for individuals with SCD. The goals of the SCDTDRCP are to improve health outcomes in individuals with SCD; reduce morbidity and mortality caused by SCD; reduce the number of individuals with SCD receiving care only in emergency departments; and improve the quality of coordinated and comprehensive services to individuals with SCD and their families. The program funds five grantees to establish regional networks to provide leadership and support for regional and statewide activities in SCD. The grantees develop and establish systemic mechanisms to improve the treatment of SCD, by: (1) Increasing the number of providers treating individuals with SCD using the National Heart, Lung and Blood E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM 07JYN1 40667 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 130 / Tuesday, July 7, 2020 / Notices Institute Evidence-Based Management of SCD 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. 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 QI and PM data collection is to evaluate the effectiveness of the SCDTDRCP and how the program can improve the coordination of service delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease, train health professionals to increase access to quality care and collaborate with various stakeholders to optimize health outcomes for individuals with sickle cell disease. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 300b–5(b)(3)(B), the National Coordinating Center (NCC) will work with the grantees to gather data and prepare a Report to Congress at the conclusion of the program. Quality Improvement All five SCDTDRCP grantees are required to conduct QI initiatives to improve quality of SCD treatment and access to care. Each grantee also works with and supports local sites (i.e., university, medical center, etc.) that provide SCD care within their region to implement QI initiatives. All the grantees and local sites are required to implement initiatives to increase the hydroxyurea use and conduct one or more additional QI initiatives on the following topics: pneumococcal vaccinations, Transcranial Doppler screening, and transition planning. The grantees and local sites will collect data on a quarterly basis on applicable measures depending on which QI initiatives they are undertaking. The data will be extracted from patients’ charts either via chart reviews or electronic health records. The local sites will send their data to the grantees using an excel spreadsheet or by entering data into a database form of their choice developed by the grantee. The grantees will aggregate their own data and the data received from the local sites and submit the aggregate data to the NCC. Performance Measures In order to understand SCD care provided and the reach of the SCDTDRCP activities across regions, seven PM have been established (e.g. number of SCD patients seen by a provider in the past year). The five SCDTDRCP grantees will send a survey once a year to providers they work with within their region who provide care to SCD patients to collect PM data. Once the providers complete the survey, the grantees will aggregate the individual responses and submit the PM data to the NCC. Likely Respondents: For QI data, the five SCDTDRCP grantees and local sites that provide SCD care that the grantees work with. For PM data, the five SCDTDRCP grantees and providers the grantees work with within their region who provide care to SCD patients. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 by the Sickle Cell 
Disease and Other Heritable Blood Disorders Research, Surveillance, 
Prevention, and Treatment Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-327), which added 
section 1106 of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300b-5. The 
purpose of the proposed Quality Improvement (QI) and Performance 
Measures (N) data collection is to evaluate the effectiveness of the 
SCDTDRCP and how the program can improve the coordination of service 
delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD), train health 
professionals to increase access to quality care and collaborate with 
various stakeholders to optimize health outcomes for individuals with 
SCD. The goals of the SCDTDRCP are to improve health outcomes in 
individuals with SCD; reduce morbidity and mortality caused by SCD; 
reduce the number of individuals with SCD receiving care only in 
emergency departments; and improve the quality of coordinated and 
comprehensive services to individuals with SCD and their families. The 
program funds five grantees to establish regional networks to provide 
leadership and support for regional and statewide activities in SCD. 
The grantees develop and establish systemic mechanisms to improve the 
treatment of SCD, by: (1) Increasing the number of providers treating 
individuals with SCD using the National Heart, Lung and Blood

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. Per the statutory requirement, the data 
collected will be used to evaluate the program and will be published in 
a report to Congress.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on January 23, 
2020, vol. 85, No. 15; pp. 3935-37. There were no public comments.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of the 
proposed QI and PM data collection is to evaluate the effectiveness of 
the SCDTDRCP and how the program can improve the coordination of 
service delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease, train health 
professionals to increase access to quality care and collaborate with 
various stakeholders to optimize health outcomes for individuals with 
sickle cell disease. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 300b-5(b)(3)(B), the 
National Coordinating Center (NCC) will work with the grantees to 
gather data and prepare a Report to Congress at the conclusion of the 
program.

Quality Improvement

    All five SCDTDRCP grantees are required to conduct QI initiatives 
to improve quality of SCD treatment and access to care. Each grantee 
also works with and supports local sites (i.e., university, medical 
center, etc.) that provide SCD care within their region to implement QI 
initiatives. All the grantees and local sites are required to implement 
initiatives to increase the hydroxyurea use and conduct one or more 
additional QI initiatives on the following topics: pneumococcal 
vaccinations, Transcranial Doppler screening, and transition planning. 
The grantees and local sites will collect data on a quarterly basis on 
applicable measures depending on which QI initiatives they are 
undertaking. The data will be extracted from patients' charts either 
via chart reviews or electronic health records. The local sites will 
send their data to the grantees using an excel spreadsheet or by 
entering data into a database form of their choice developed by the 
grantee. The grantees will aggregate their own data and the data 
received from the local sites and submit the aggregate data to the NCC.

Performance Measures

    In order to understand SCD care provided and the reach of the 
SCDTDRCP activities across regions, seven PM have been established 
(e.g. number of SCD patients seen by a provider in the past year). The 
five SCDTDRCP grantees will send a survey once a year to providers they 
work with within their region who provide care to SCD patients to 
collect PM data. Once the providers complete the survey, the grantees 
will aggregate the individual responses and submit the PM data to the 
NCC.
    Likely Respondents: For QI data, the five SCDTDRCP grantees and 
local sites that provide SCD care that the grantees work with. For PM 
data, the five SCDTDRCP grantees and providers the grantees work with 
within their region who provide care to SCD patients.
    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 hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the tables below:
