Information Collection Request Title:
Office for the Advancement of
Telehealth Outcome Measures OMB No.
0915–0311—Extension.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
extending the approval of the Office for
Advancement of Telehealth Outcome
Measures that are currently approved
under OMB No. 0915–0311, with an
expiration date of October 31, 2023. To
help carry out its mission, HRSA
created this set of performance measures
that grantees of the Telehealth Network
Grant Program can use to evaluate the
effectiveness of their services programs
and monitor their progress using
performance reporting data.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: As required by the
Government Performance and Review
Act of 1993, all federal agencies must
develop strategic plans describing their
overall goal and objectives. HRSA has
worked with grantees of the Telehealth
Network Grant Program to develop
performance measures to be used to
evaluate and monitor the progress of the
grantees. Grantee goals are to improve
access to needed services; reduce rural
practitioner isolation; improve health
system productivity and efficiency; and
improve patient outcomes. In each of
these categories, specific indicators
were designed to be reported through a
performance monitoring website.
Measures for the Telehealth Network
Grant Program capture awardee-level
and aggregate data that illustrate the
impact and scope of federal funding
along with assessing these efforts. The
measures speak to the Office for
Advancement of Telehealth’s progress
toward meeting the goals, specifically
telehealth services delivered through
Emergency Departments.
Likely Respondents: Telehealth
Network Grant Program Grantees.
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.

information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.

Information Collection Request Title:
Enhancing HIV Care of Women, Infants,
Children and Youth Building Capacity
through Communities of Practice OMB
No. 0915–xxxx–New.
Abstract: HRSA aims to increase
delivery of evidence-based interventions
that enhance client outcomes, increase
the skill level of the HIV workforce
providing care and treatment to Women,
Infants, Children and Youth, and
involve partnerships for dissemination
of best practices to Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D
participants. To that end, HRSA seeks to
implement a Communities of Practice
(CoP) platform for RWHAP Part D
recipients. A CoP engages recipient
teams in improvement learning sessions
using subject matter experts along with
application experts who help recipient
teams select, test, and implement
changes on the front line of care.
Through organizational selfassessments, didactic learning on
specific care topics, goals setting, and
work plan development, each team can
strategically benefit their organization.
CoPs afford participants the opportunity
to work in a group to solve a recognized
challenge related to a CoP domain and
support dialogue among participants
and the consultant/subject matter
experts. Recipient teams commit to
E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM
27FEN1
12387
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2023 / Notices
working over a period of 12 months,
alternating between Learning Sessions
in which teams come together to learn
about the chosen topic and to plan
changes, and Action Periods in which
the teams return to their respective
organizations and test those changes in
their clinic settings. The domains for the
proposed CoPs are trauma informed
care, pre-conception counseling, and
youth transitioning into adult HIV care
services.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Process and outcome
evaluations are a critical part of
ensuring that CoP initiatives were
implemented as planned and met their
intended outcome. Evaluation of
technical assistance (TA) depends on
establishing clear goals and plans from
the beginning of the process. This
includes specifying the intended impact
of the TA with concrete, measurable
objectives. To judge performance against
goals, HRSA will administer TA
evaluation surveys following TA and
training, webinars, teleconferences, and
meetings. Findings will drive quality
improvement activities and reports.
The evaluation plan focuses on
process and impact evaluation of all
CoP Teams (Pre-Conception Counseling
and Sexual Health, Trauma-Informed
Care, and Transitioning Adolescents to
Adult Care) over the duration of the 4year period of performance. The
evaluation plan components will be
operationalized to include TA
satisfaction measures (reaction), change
in knowledge after the TA (learning),
and change in behavior or practice after
the introduction of evidence-based
interventions (behavior). More
specifically, the evaluation plan
includes (1) post TA satisfaction
measures, (2) pre-post measures of CoP
staff knowledge about effective
practices, (3) retrospective measures to
gather measures of CoP staff knowledge
for the first community of practice only,
and (4) measures of TA usefulness and
impact on CoP performance.
Likely Respondents: Up to 90 RWHAP
Part D Women, Infant, Children, Youth
recipients will participate in the CoPs.
Each recipient may have up to six staff
members who may complete the survey.
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

2001(a)), and the Indian Health Care
Improvement Act (25 U.S.C. 1601 et
seq.), has approved the following rates
for inpatient and outpatient medical
care provided by IHS facilities for
Calendar Year 2023 for Medicare and
Medicaid beneficiaries, beneficiaries of
other federal programs, and for
recoveries under the Federal Medical
Care Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 2651–
2653). The inpatient rates for Medicare
Part A are excluded from the table
below. That is because Medicare
inpatient payments for IHS hospital
facilities are made based on the
prospective payment system, or (when
IHS facilities are designated as Medicare
Critical Access Hospitals) on a
reasonable cost basis. Since the
inpatient per diem rates set forth below
do not include all physician services
and practitioner services, additional
payment shall be available to the extent
that those services are provided.
