SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
‘‘Safety Program in Perinatal Care
(SPPC)-II Demonstration Project’’
The SPPC–II Demonstration Project
has the following goals:
(1) To implement the integrated AIM–
SPPC II program in birthing hospitals in
OK and TX in coordination with the
Alliance for Innovation on Maternal
Health program (AIM) and the
respective state PQC (Perinatal Quality
Collaborative);
(2) To assess the implementation of
the integrated AIM–SPPC II program in
these hospitals; and
(3) To ascertain the short- and
medium-term impact of the integrated
AIM–SPPC II program on hospital (i.e.,
perinatal unit) teamwork and
communication, patient safety, and key
maternal health outcomes.
The information collected for this
Demonstration Project will be used to
evaluate the implementation and impact
of the SPPC–II program overlaid with
AIM patient safety bundles in birthing
hospitals in OK and TX. More
specifically, the project will:
(a) Provide information on whether
the proposed integration of AIM and
SPPC–II programs can be implemented
as intended, i.e., through the use of a
two-tier approach for training all
clinical staff in all hospitals,
coordination by the AIM Team Lead of
the rollout of training clinical staff using
e-modules on teamwork and
communication, facilitation by AIM
Team Leads of in-person sessions to
practice teamwork and communication
tools and strategies; or, what changes
are needed to better facilitate program
implementation;
(b) provide information regarding the
impact of the integrated AIM–SPPC II
program on use of teamwork and
communication tools and strategies,
teamwork and communication metrics,
patient safety culture changes, AIM
bundle implementation, and key
maternal health outcomes; and
(c) provide information regarding the
sustainability of the integrated AIM–
SPPC II program 18 months after
implementation.
Due to pandemic-related impacts on
the SPPC–II study population, we
propose updating the SPPC–II data
collection by (1) adding questions to the
approved qualitative interview guide at
3–4 months to include pandemic-related
questions to better understand the
implementation context, (2) adding an
additional qualitative interview
E:\FR\FM\24SEN1.SGM
24SEN1
60167
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 186 / Thursday, September 24, 2020 / Notices
collection at 15–16 months with a new
interview guide to better understand the
implementation context, and (3)
increasing the total number of
qualitative interview participants from
25 to 30 participants to account for the
two qualitative interview collections at
3–4 months and 15–16 months. The
total estimated annual burden hours for
SPPC–II will increase from 54,654 hours
in the previous clearance to 54,659
hours in this clearance request, an
increase of 5 hours.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Johns
Hopkins University (JHU), and through
JHU’s subcontractor, AIM, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research on healthcare and
on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following updates to the data collections
will be implemented:
(a) Qualitative, semi-structured
interviews with AIM Team Leads will
be conducted by phone about 3–4
months and 15–16 months after the
SPPC–II implementation start date to
assess the perceived utility of the
training and assistance needed with the
rollout of training to all frontline
clinical staff using the e-modules and
facilitation sessions to consolidate the
information, and to better understand
the implementation context (including
barriers, facilitators, and strategies). An
interview guide developed based on the
Consolidated Framework for
Implementation Research framework
will be used to conduct the interviews,
together with a corresponding consent
form.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows only the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents’ time to participate in
updates to the information collection of
the SPPC–II Demonstration Project.
One-hour qualitative interviews will
be conducted with a total of 30 AIM
Team Leads in the 2 states about 3–4
months and 15–16 months after the
SPPC–II implementation start date.
The total annual burden hours are
estimated to be 54,659 hours, an
increase of 5 hours from the previous
clearance request.
