We recognize data often are sourced
from multiple systems. Please share any
promising practices in aggregating and
assessing data from multiple source
systems in a cohesive and standard way.
During response incidents, immediate
patient care needs, power outages, and
competing priorities can be significant
challenges in maintaining shared
situational awareness. Please share any
promising practices for continued
reporting during incidents.
We recognize that some healthcare
partners have more advanced data and
situational awareness programs while
others may have minimal resources.
Please share any promising practices for
effectively leveraging minimal
resources.
Please share any ongoing or
anticipated challenges with reporting or
collecting data related to hospital
capacity, facility status, hospital stress,
supply inventory, or other information
that is needed to inform hospital
emergency preparedness and response.
Please share any non-financial
resources that would be useful to
improve your reporting capability.
Title: Request for Information on AllHazards Hospital Data.
Abstract: The Administration for
Strategic Preparedness and Response
(ASPR), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS), and the
Office of the National Coordinator for
Health Information Technology (ONC)
are co-leading an effort to define the
vendor-agnostic technical and policy
infrastructure, standards, and
capabilities necessary to support allhazard data reporting by all hospitals
nationally including rehabilitation,
psychiatric, and long-term care acute
care hospitals as well as those providing
acute medical care. This effort will
gather information to provide
recommendations for a standardized
lens into the readiness of, stress on, and
resources available in hospitals before,
during, and after emergencies (including
all-hazard incidents such as public
health emergencies, hurricanes, mass
casualty incidents, infectious disease
outbreaks, etc.) for needs across the
country. While this effort is led by
federal partners, it is intended to also
support local response efforts. For
example, standardized essential
elements of information (EEIs) may help
to facilitate coordination across
jurisdictions when load balancing or
medical operations coordination centers
are needed. The effort will leverage past
efforts and collaborate with ongoing
initiatives across the healthcare
situational awareness sphere, such as
the National Biodefense Strategy.

Importantly, this is a nationwide
effort for which partner input across the
healthcare readiness community is
essential. The healthcare community
rose to increased demands during the
COVID–19 public health emergency,
reinforcing their commitment to always
providing the highest quality level of
safe care to patients. ASPR, CDC, CMS,
and ONC are committed to working
together with partners to help shape the
path forward towards efficient
information sharing, minimizing burden
and increasing transparency on how
information is used to drive action.
Partners such as jurisdictions, hospital
associations, hospitals, healthcare
coalitions, medical operations
coordination centers, transfer centers,
nurses, emergency medical services,
health information technology, and
more will help to inform the project.
ASPR, CDC, CMS, and ONC will be cohosting a series of listening sessions in
addition to seeking comments through
this RFI.
To date there has been a limited
unified, all-hazards understanding of
national level hospital-facility status,
capacity, resources, and capabilities. An
all-hazards approach addresses
capabilities-based preparedness to
prevent, protect against, respond to, and
recover from terrorist attacks, major
disasters, and other emergencies.
Existing efforts have included the
COVID–19 hospital data collection, adhoc surveys performed after incidents
such as hurricanes, targeted surveillance
systems for specific communicable
diseases and/or specific types of care
(ex. Emergency Department (ED) visits),
and individual efforts within
jurisdictions. While each existing effort
has been important, data collection
efforts are patchwork, crisis-driven, and
not standardized with respect to how
EEIs are defined and operationalized. As
a result, the nation continues to lack a
comprehensive, standardized view of
the state of the healthcare system that
can be shared across partners at all
levels to inform coordinated action.
In addition to informing nationwide
EEIs, input provided will also be used
for related initiatives such as the
National Healthcare Safety Network
(NHSN) hospital bed capacity data pilot
project, the Health Level 7 (HL7) Helios
Fast Healthcare Interoperability
Resources (FHIR) Accelerator, the
Medical Countermeasures and Data
Information Technology Ecosystem, and
CDC data modernization efforts.
Nationwide EEIs identified through this
effort will directly inform updates to the
USCDI+ for Public Health, Situational
Awareness, and Emergency Response
dataset, where additional input will be

solicited on how to represent concepts
for data exchange purposes. The effort
also aligns with programs across the
ASPR Health Care Readiness Portfolio
and the CDC Public Health Emergency
Program.

Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35). To request a copy of these

Project: SAMHSA Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Research and Assessment
SAMHSA is requesting approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for their Generic clearance for
purposes of conducting qualitative
research. SAMHSA conducts qualitative
research to gain a better understanding
of emerging substance use and mental
health policy issues, improve the
development and quality of
instruments, and to ensure SAMHSA
leadership, centers and offices have
recent data and information to inform
program and policy decision-making.
SAMHSA is requesting approval for at
least four types of qualitative research:
(a) interviews, (b) focus groups, (c)
questionnaires, and (d) other qualitative
methods.
SAMHSA is the agency within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) that leads public health
efforts to advance the behavioral health
of the nation and to improve the lives
of individuals living with mental and
substance use disorders, and their
families. It’s mission is to lead public
health and service delivery efforts that
promote mental health, prevent
substance misuse, and provide
treatments and supports to foster
recovery while ensuring equitable
access and better outcomes. SAMHSA
pursues this mission by providing grant

states and territories, as well as tribal
and local communities; technical
assistance to grantees and practitioners;
publishing and sharing resources for
individuals and family members seeking
information on prevention, harm
reduction, treatment and recovery;
collecting, analyzing, and sharing
behavioral health data; collaborating
with other Federal agencies to evaluate
programs and improve policies; and
raising awareness of available resources
through educational messaging
campaigns and events. Integral to this
role, SAMHSA conducts qualitative

experts; national, state, and local public
health representatives; human service,
and healthcare providers; and
representatives of other health
organizations. A variety of instruments
and platforms will be used to collect
information from respondents. The
annual burden hours requested (15,000)
are based on the number of collections
we expect to conduct over the requested
period for this clearance. The burden
estimates were calculated based on the
amount of IC submissions to the 0930–
0393 Fast Track Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) Service Delivery that are
ineligible for OMB approval under it.
This Generic information collection will
provide a viable replacement option.
Internal assessments of projected IC
submission over the next three years
estimate the burden hours for this
information collection to be
approximately half that of the 0930–
0393 Fast Track Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on the Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration

programs and policies. A key objective
is to decrease the burden on
stakeholders while expanding and
improving data collection, analysis,
evaluation, and dissemination. To
achieve this objective, SAMHSA is
streamlining and modernizing data
collection efforts, while also
coordinating evaluation across the
agency to ensure funding and policies
are data driven. Additionally, the
agency is utilizing rigorous evaluation
and analytical processes that are in
alignment with the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018. SAMHSA, using robust methods
to collect, analyze, and report valid,
reliable, trustworthy, and protected
data, is key to improving and impacting
behavioral health treatment, prevention,
and recovery for communities most in
need. By using rigorous methods, and
improving the quality and completeness
of program data, data can be
disaggregated across different
population groups to assess disparities
within the behavioral health care
system. SAMHSA’s vision will be
accomplished by better leveraging
optimal data to inform the agency’s
policies and programs.
The qualitative research participants
will include grant recipients; policy
