The purpose of this program is to fund evidence-based projects that utilize telehealth technologies through telehealth networks to expand access to, and improve access to and the quality of, health care services. This program will work to help HRSA assess the effectiveness of evidence-based practices with the use of telehealth for patients, providers, and payers. In the Evidence-Based Telehealth Network Program Report, the adjusted data collection instrument includes the addition, removal, and revision of measures, with 27 total data elements addressing patient encounter information. The currently approved measures focus on behavioral health, and the proposed adjusted measures allow for the inclusion of broader health care services and expanded outcome measures. Five data elements were updated to specify data collection that allows for deeper understanding of outcomes related to socioeconomic indicators. The estimated burden for the Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program Report decreased since the data collection frequency is changing from monthly to quarterly. In addition, the information collected from grantees in the Performance Improvement and Measurement System more closely aligns measures with the Notice of Funding Opportunity and will assist in clarifying program measures and impact. These adjustments allow OAT to gain a more thorough understanding of how to utilize telehealth technologies through telehealth to improve access to, and improve the quality of, health care services. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The measures will enable HRSA to capture data that illustrate the impact and scope of federal funding along with assessing these efforts. The measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to OAT, including: (a) population demographics; (b) access to health care; (c) cost savings and costeffectiveness; and (d) clinical outcomes. Likely Respondents: Likely respondents are award recipients of the Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program. 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.

    Abstract: This ICR is a revision of currently approved information 
collection of measures for the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth 
(OAT)'s Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program, under which OAT 
administers cooperative agreements in accordance with section 330I of 
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c-14), as amended. The 
purpose of this program is to fund evidence-based projects that utilize 
telehealth technologies through telehealth networks to expand access 
to, and improve access to and the quality of, health care services. 
This program will work to help HRSA assess the effectiveness of 
evidence-based practices with the use of telehealth for patients, 
providers, and payers.
    In the Evidence-Based Telehealth Network Program Report, the 
adjusted data collection instrument includes the addition, removal, and 
revision of measures, with 27 total data elements addressing patient 
encounter information. The currently approved measures focus on 
behavioral health, and the proposed adjusted measures allow for the 
inclusion of broader health care services and expanded outcome 
measures. Five data elements were updated to specify data collection 
that allows for deeper understanding of outcomes related to 
socioeconomic indicators. The estimated burden for the Evidence Based 
Telehealth Network Program Report decreased since the data collection 
frequency is changing from monthly to quarterly. In addition, the 
information collected from grantees in the Performance Improvement and 
Measurement System more closely aligns measures with the Notice of 
Funding Opportunity and will assist in clarifying program measures and 
impact. These adjustments allow OAT to gain a more thorough 
understanding of how to utilize telehealth technologies through 
telehealth to improve access to, and improve the quality of, health 
care services.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The measures will enable 
HRSA to capture data that illustrate the impact and scope of federal 
funding along with assessing these efforts. The measures cover the 
principal topic areas of interest to OAT, including: (a) population 
demographics; (b) access to health care; (c) cost savings and cost-
effectiveness; and (d) clinical outcomes.
    Likely Respondents: Likely respondents are award recipients of the 
Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program.
    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.
