Title of the Collection: Health Care Readiness Collections.
Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990-0391.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness
and Response (ASPR) in the Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) administers a portfolio of health care readiness programs and
activities, including the Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP)
authorized under Section 319C-2 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act.
HPP is a cooperative agreement program that strengthens national health
care readiness, supports health care resilience, and enables rapid
recovery.
Through the Health Care Readiness Portfolio, ASPR provides awards
to 62 health departments in all 50 states, territories, freely
associated states, and four metropolitan areas to support the health
care delivery system through over 320 health care coalitions (HCCs)
with nearly 45,000 members. An HCC is a network of public and private
organizations that partner to conduct planning, training, and
preparedness activities within a state or locality, building that
area's overall readiness.
ASPR's Health Care Readiness Portfolio aligns preparedness
activities across health care and also includes the Regional Disaster
Health Response System (RDHRS) demonstration sites that establish
regional partnerships to develop promising practices in coordinating
disaster readiness and regional medical response; the National Special
Pathogen System, a nationwide systems-based network approach for
special pathogen care; workforce capacity activities; and other
initiatives.
ASPR collects data annually to understand how federal funding has
been spent, measure performance, and monitor adherence with program
requirements. These data additionally support ASPR to develop funding
opportunities, improve programmatic operations, and inform decision-
making. ASPR is also responsible for allocating and monitoring
emergency and supplemental funding, understanding recipient and sub-
recipient real-time needs, and maintaining situational awareness of the
current state of preparedness, response, and recovery activities. When
circumstances require rapid information gathering, it is necessary for
ASPR to also collect data
[[Page 16754]]
on an ad hoc basis to advance these goals. ASPR is changing the title
of this collection from ``Hospital Preparedness Program Data
Collection'' to ``Health Care Readiness Collections'' to better reflect
the scope of data collected under this approval.
