Information Collection Request Title: Hospital Campaign for Organ
Donation Scorecard OMB No. 0915-0373--Revision.
[[Page 37878]]
Abstract: HRSA's Hospital Campaign for Organ Donation continues to
enlist the help of healthcare organizations nationwide to increase the
number of registered organ, eye, and tissue donors by hosting
education, outreach, and donor registration events in their facilities
and communities. A scorecard identifies activities that participants
can implement and assigns points to each activity. Participants that
earn a certain number of points annually are recognized by HRSA and the
campaign's national partners.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: There is a substantial
imbalance in the U.S. between the more than 106,000 people whose lives
depend on organ transplants and the annual number of organ donors
(approximately 18,000 living and deceased donors). This imbalance
results in approximately 17 deaths per day; about 6,200 waiting list
deaths annually. In addition, a person in need of a life-saving or
life-improving organ transplant is added to the national organ
transplant waiting list every 9 minutes. In response to the need for
increased donation, HRSA conducts public outreach initiatives to
encourage the American public to enroll on state donor registries as
future organ donors.
The scorecard motivates and facilitates participation in the
campaign, provides the basis for rewarding participants for their
accomplishments, and enables HRSA to measure and evaluate campaign
process and outcome. The scorecard also enables HRSA to make data-based
decisions and improvements for subsequent campaigns.
Likely Respondents: Hospital development and public relations staff
of organ procurement and other donation organizations; hospital staff
such as nurses or public relations/communications professionals and
staff members. Additional respondents may include staff at physician's
offices, health clinics, and emergency medical services; and/or
volunteers that specifically work with health care organizations on
organ donation initiatives and activities, who may have been engaged by
or invited through word-of-mouth, local organ procurement
organizations, and/or peers, and/or who work within a medical and/or
health care setting, but outside of a hospital environment.
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.
