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)

The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Sickle Cell Disease Program Evaluations and Quality
Improvement Activities--[NEW]
The Sickle Cell Disease and Newborn Screening Program (SCDNBSP) and
the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Demonstration Program (SCDTDP) are
both administered by the Genetic Services Branch (GSB) of the Division
of Services for Children with Special Health Needs in the Health
Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Maternal and Child
Health Bureau (MCHB). The SCDTDP is comprised of geographically
distributed regional networks that provide coordinated, comprehensive,
culturally competent, and family-centered care to families with sickle
cell disease and a national coordinating center to support grantee
activities. The SCDTDP is designed to improve access to services for
individuals with sickle cell disease, improve/expand patient and
provider education, and improve/expand the continuity and coordination
of service delivery for individuals with sickle cell disease and
carriers of the sickle cell gene mutation. The SCDNBSP is comprised of
several national funded community-based sickle cell disease networks
located in the U.S. and the National Coordinating and Evaluation
Center. The community-based sickle cell disease networks partner with
State newborn screening programs, comprehensive sickle cell treatment
centers, and health care professionals to provide support to infants
screened positive for sickle cell disease, carriers of the sickle cell
gene mutation and their families.
HRSA seeks to conduct two evaluations (SCDTDP evaluation previously
approved by OMB) and a quality improvement project, the purpose of
which are to assess the service delivery processes and outcomes
resulting from the systems of care delivered by the SCDNBSP and SCDTDP
networks to individuals affected by sickle cell disease who present at
their sites for care. The clients of the three programs will be the
respondents for this data collection activity.
The annual estimate of burden for both the SCDNBSP and the SCDTDP
evaluations and quality improvement effort is as follows:
