Information Collection Request Title: HIV Quality Measures (HIVQM)
Module OMB No. 0906-0022--Extension.
Abstract: The HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states, and local clinics/community-based
organizations to deliver efficient and effective HIV care, treatment,
and support to low-income people with HIV. Since 1990, the RWHAP has
developed a comprehensive system of safety net providers who deliver
high quality direct health care and support services to over half a
million people with HIV--more than 50 percent of all people diagnosed
with HIV in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of clients live at or
below 100 percent of the federal poverty level and approximately three-
quarters of RWHAP clients are racial/ethnic minorities.\1\

\1\ HRSA. Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Data Report, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D recipients and sub recipients must
follow legislative requirements for the establishment of clinical
quality management programs to assess the extent to which their HIV
services are consistent with the most recent Department of Health and
Human Services Clinical Treatment guidelines. In support of these
requirements, HRSA created the HIV Quality Measures (HIVQM) Module as
an online tool to assist recipients in meeting the clinical quality
management program requirement by allowing recipients to input data for
the HRSA performance measures. HRSA maintains over 40 performance
measures across the following categories: (1) core, (2) all ages, (3)
adolescent/adult, (4) HIV-infected children, (5) HIV-exposed children,
(6) medical case management, (7) oral health, (8) AIDS Drug Assistance
Program, and (9) systems. The HIVQM Module also supports the
requirement imposed by the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Health and Human Service Award
(45 CFR 75.301) that recipients relate financial data to performance
accomplishments of their federal awards. The HIVQM Module helps
recipients set goals and monitor performance measures and quality
improvement projects. The use of the HIVQM Module is voluntary for
RWHAP recipients but strongly encouraged.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The HIVQM Module supports
recipients and sub-recipients in their clinical quality management
programs, performance measurement, service delivery, and monitoring of
client health outcomes and quality HIV services. The HIVQM Module is
accessible via the RWHAP Services Report, an existing online portal
that RWHAP recipients use for required data collection of their
services. Recipients may enter performance measures data into the HIVQM
Module four times a year and then generate reports to assess their
performance. Recipients have the option to enter data for specific
populations for a subset of performance measures based on age, gender,
race/ethnicity, and risk factor. Recipients may also compare their
performance against other recipients in their state, region, and
nationally. Additionally, recipients can choose the performance
measures they want to monitor and enter data accordingly. For
recipients and sub-recipients participating in the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Incentive Programs, such as the Medicare Promoting
Interoperability Program and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System,
the HIVQM Module may be used to monitor the HRSA measures that qualify
and comply with the requirements to receive incentives from these
programs.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D
recipients and their sub-recipients.
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; to 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; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
