Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: Public Comment Request Information Collection Request Title: Evidence-Based Telehealth Network Program Measures, 64060-64061 [2022-22869]

Download as PDF 64060 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2022 / Notices • Beginning with the 2023 UDS, health centers will be able to submit patient-level data in fulfillment of data elements on Tables: Æ Table PBZC (Patients by Zip Code) Æ Table 3A (Patients by Age and Sex Assigned at Birth) Æ Table 3B (Demographic Characteristics) Æ Table 4 (Selected Characteristics) Æ Table 6A (Selected Diagnoses and Services Rendered) Æ Table 6B (Quality of Care Measures) Æ Table 7 (Health Outcomes and Disparities UDS+ Patent Level Reporting leverages a methodological shift in the process by which health centers submit their annual UDS report while maintaining historic UDS measures. High-quality accessible data are critical to strategically meeting the needs of patients and identifying opportunities for clinical process improvement. The growth in health information technology coupled with the increased adoption of electronic health records has transformed patient care delivery and underscored the need for secure and rapid exchange of health data between disparate systems. Health Level Seven International 10 developed Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources 11 (FHIR) to standardize the electronic exchange of patient data across systems. FHIR, which is the current gold standard, has the flexibility to support a variety of user needs and enhances interoperability by transmitting health data rapidly and more securely than ever before. It is important for the collection of UDS data to align with interoperability standards and reporting requirements across HHS and the healthcare industry. Leveraging FHIR to collect UDS patient-level data will improve data granularity, allow for the development of robust patient management programs, and improve equitable access to high-quality, costeffective primary care services. This electronic reporting mechanism will reduce reliance on manual data entry to populate the annual UDS report, in turn yielding a reduction in reporting effort burden, and will greatly increase the analytical value of UDS data for informing policy and program decision-making. Likely Respondents: Likely respondents will include Health Center Program award recipients, Health Center Program look-alikes, and Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention Program awardees funded Estimated number of responses per respondent Estimated number of respondents Form name Universal Report ..............................................................

Burden Statement: Burden includes 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 use technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, disclosing and providing information. It also accounts for time to train personnel, respond to a collection of information, search data sources, complete and review the collection of information, and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. It will also include testing information necessary to support the UDS Test Cooperative (UTC). No more than three tests will be conducted each calendar year and no more than one hundred health centers will participate in one test. Participation is voluntary and will not affect their funding status. This sample size is sufficient to conduct a technical test and determine if the innovation should be scaled across the UDS. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the forthcoming table. HRSA specifically requests comments on: (1) the necessity and feasibility 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.
