Proposed Project: Health Center Controlled Networks Progress Reports
(OMB No. 0915-0315)--Revision
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) collects
network outcome measures, conducts evaluation of those measures, and
has an electronic reporting system for the following types of grantees:
Health Information Technology Planning Grants, Electronic Health Record
Implementation Health Center Controlled Networks, Health Information
Technology Innovations for Health Center Controlled Networks, and High
Impact Electronic Health Records Implementation for Health Center
Controlled Networks and Large Multi Site Health Centers. In order to
help carry out its mission, HRSA created a set of performance measures
that grantees use to evaluate the effectiveness of their service
programs and monitor their progress through the use of performance
reporting data.
Grantees report to HRSA on their grants to accomplish the following
goals: increase access to needed data and services; improve quality,
efficiency and effectiveness of network services; and enhance ability
to track and monitor patient outcomes. Grantees submit their Progress
Reports in a mid-year report and an accumulative annual progress report
each fiscal year of the grant. These grants are on three year project
periods. For HRSA grantees, there is no increase in burden. The hours
per response has not changed. The number of grantees increased from 40
to 109.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
