DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)
443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) Uniform Data
System (OMB Clearance No. 0915-0193)--Revision
The Uniform Data System (UDS) contains the annual reporting
requirements for the cluster of primary care grantees funded by the
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The UDS includes
reporting requirements for grantees of the following primary care
programs: Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care
for the Homeless, Public Housing Primary Care, and other grantees under
Section 330. The authorizing statute is section 330 of
[[Page 68611]]
the Public Health Service Act, as amended.
HRSA collects data in the UDS which are used to ensure compliance
with legislative mandates and to report to Congress and policymakers on
program accomplishments. To meet these objectives, BPHC requires a core
set of data collected annually that is appropriate for monitoring and
evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends. The UDS will be
revised in several ways. Certain data elements are added for staffing
and utilization and for diagnoses, services, and tests. Specifications
for current clinical measures are revised to align with those of
national standard setting organizations. Revenue sources are updated to
include new federal revenue sources. A limited number of questions are
asked about Electronic Health Record (EHR) reporting capabilities.
Also, a limited number of clinical measures will be added consistent
with identified national priorities. These new measures are included in
the UDS data collection request in order to allow advance time for
health centers to change data collection systems.
