SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is
currently engaged in an effort to streamline and standardize grantee
profiles across three programs managed by the Office of Healthcare
Information and Counseling (OHIC): the State Health Insurance
Assistance Program (SHIP), Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), and Medicare
Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA). Grantees in each
program must adhere to a specific set of reporting requirements and
associated reporting schedules outlined in their Program Reporting
Guidelines. While
[[Page 8286]]
reporting requirements are effective in ensuring grantees data, there
is no consistency or uniformity in how individual grantees submit their
data.
For example, SHIP profiles currently exist; these profiles are
accessible to the SHIP grantee network via the program's technical
assistance center, and they can be updated directly by grantee states.
SMP and MIPPA profiles have yet to be developed. The goal of this data
collection effort is to obtain consistent data elements for the three
programs that will allow ACL to reimagine the existing profiles into a
comparable set of data elements across programs.
These data will allow RTI International, a contractor to ACL, to
develop an updated set of grantee profiles that are accessible,
visually appealing, and consistent across programs. Specifically, the
purpose of this data collection effort is to update the SHIP grantee
profiles, which were last updated in 2016, and develop similar profiles
for SMP and MIPPA. These profiles will be internal to ACL and will only
be shared with grantees.
A web-based questionnaire will be emailed to all 125 grant managers
(representing 54 states and territories) electronically via Smartsheet.
The collected data will be imported into a dataset and will be used to
create program profiles accessible to ACL and grantees.
