Information Collection Request Title: Bureau of Primary Health
Care--Program Management Resource Compendium, OMB No. 0906-XXXX, New.
Abstract: The Program Management Resource Compendium project will
encompass an historical analysis of HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health
Care (BPHC), as well as an historical analysis of the Health Center
Program. Dating from the founding of the initial community health
centers in the mid-1960s up to the present time, the analysis will
consider the evolution and critical milestones of BPHC and the Health
Center Program based on documentary research and interviews with
individuals with historical knowledge of the Health Center Program and
the health center movement.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information gathered
through interviews will be combined with information drawn from
documentary research to inform the historical analysis. The results of
the analysis will be presented in communication products for an
internal audience, as well as products for an external audience. The
goals of the project are to increase awareness of the Health Center
Program management within the government and among the general public,
as well as to inform BPHC's future development by analyzing and drawing
lessons from its earlier administration of the Health Center Program.
Likely Respondents: Interviews are expected with current and former
HRSA employees, as well as representatives of the National Association
of Community Health Centers, other national organizations, state and
regional Primary Care Associations, and HRSA-funded health centers. A
list of possible interviewees has been compiled with input by current
and former BPHC leadership and staff. A total of 35-50 interviews are
expected.
Interviews will be conducted virtually by a trained moderator and
note taker, using a structured in-depth interview guide. Each interview
is expected to last approximately one hour. It is also anticipated that
interviewees may spend up to 15 minutes preparing for their interviews,
for example by reviewing historical files. Signed consent forms
regarding participation and the use of recording devices during the
interview will be obtained from each participant prior to their
participation in the interviews. The following are sample interview
questions that may be included in the in-depth interview guide:
<bullet> What were program management processes like when you began
working at BPHC? What were they like by the time you left?
<bullet> What major transitions or changes in program management
occurred during your tenure and why were these undertaken?
<bullet> What positive experiences or outcomes have you witnessed
as a result of the Health Center Program and its program management?
<bullet> What are some specific issues, concerns, or problems faced
by the Health Center Program through the years? How has the program
adapted to meet these challenges?
<bullet> How do you envision BPHC evolving over the next 5 years?
<bullet> If you could choose two elements of BPHC's management
processes to change, what would you change and why?
<bullet> What inspired you to become involved with the Health
Center 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; 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; train personnel and to be able to respond to a
collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
