Information Collection Request Title: Office for the Advancement of
Telehealth Outcome Measures OMB No. 0915-0311--Extension.
Abstract: This clearance request is for extending the approval of
the Office for Advancement of Telehealth Outcome Measures that are
currently approved under OMB No. 0915-0311, with an expiration date of
October 31, 2023. To help carry out its mission, HRSA created this set
of performance measures that grantees of the Telehealth Network Grant
Program can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their services
programs and monitor their progress using performance reporting data.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: As required by the
Government Performance and Review Act of 1993, all federal agencies
must develop strategic plans describing their overall goal and
objectives. HRSA has worked with grantees of the Telehealth Network
Grant Program to develop performance measures to be used to evaluate
and monitor the progress of the grantees. Grantee goals are to improve
access to needed services; reduce rural practitioner isolation; improve
health system productivity and efficiency; and improve patient
outcomes. In each of these categories, specific indicators were
designed to be reported through a performance monitoring website.
Measures for the Telehealth Network Grant Program capture awardee-level
and aggregate data that illustrate the impact and scope of federal
funding along with assessing these efforts. The measures speak to the
Office for Advancement of Telehealth's progress toward meeting the
goals, specifically telehealth services delivered through Emergency
Departments.
Likely Respondents: Telehealth Network Grant Program Grantees.
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.
