Information Collection Request Title: Evidence Based Telehealth
Network Program Measures OMB No. 0906-0043--Extension.
Abstract: This ICR is for an extension of currently approved
measures for the Office for the Advancement of Telehealth (OAT)'s
Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program, under which OAT administers
cooperative agreements in accordance with section 330I of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c-14), as amended. The purpose of this
program is to demonstrate how telehealth programs and networks can
improve access to quality health care services. This program will work
to help HRSA assess the effectiveness of evidence-based practices with
the use of telehealth for patients, providers, and payers.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The measures will enable
HRSA and OAT to capture awardee-level and aggregate data that
illustrate the impact and scope of federal funding along with assessing
these efforts. The measures cover the principal topic areas of interest
to OAT, including: (a) population demographics; (b) access to health
care; (c) cost savings and cost-effectiveness; and (d) clinical
outcomes.
Likely Respondents: The respondents would be award recipients of
the Evidence Based Telehealth Network 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; 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.
