Information Collection Request Title: Health Center Patient Survey.
OMB No.: 0915-0368--Extension.
Abstract: The Health Center Program, administered by HRSA, is
authorized under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act. Health
centers are community-based and patient-directed organizations that
deliver affordable, accessible, quality, and cost-effective primary
health care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay.
Nearly 1,400 health centers operate over 14,000 service delivery sites
that provide primary health care to more than 30 million people in
every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In the past, HRSA has conducted
the Health Center Patient Survey (HCPS), which surveys patients of HRSA
supported health centers. The HCPS collects information about
sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, health behaviors,
access to and utilization of health care services, and satisfaction
with health care received at HRSA supported health centers. The renewal
of the HCPS will utilize the same modules from the 2022 HCPS (OMB
#0915-0368). There is no change to the current survey instruments.
Survey results come from in-person, one-on-one interviews with patients
who are selected as representative of the Health Center Program patient
population nationally.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The HCPS is unique
because it focuses on comprehensive, nationally representative,
individual level data from the perspective of health center patients.
By investigating how well HRSA supported health centers meet health
care needs of the medically underserved and how patients perceive their
quality of care, the HCPS serves as an empirically based resource to
inform HRSA policy, funding, and planning decisions.
Likely Respondents: Staff and patients at HRSA supported health
centers.
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. Compared to the previous HCPS, the estimated
burden hours for an individual respondent remains the same in this
renewal. The total annual burden hours and number of survey respondents
is anticipated to remain the same for the survey instruments in this
renewal. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Short Blessed Scale Form will be administered to respondents when a field interviewer believes that a
person might be too cognitively impaired to participate in the survey. According to 2022 survey experience,
only 3 eligible participants in the main survey were screened with this form.
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.
