Information Collection Request Title: Health Center Patient Survey.
OMB No. 0915-0368--Extension.
Abstract: HRSA-supported health centers (those entities funded
under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act) deliver
comprehensive, affordable, quality primary health care to over 30
million patients nationwide, regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly
1,400 health centers operate over 14,000 service delivery sites in
every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In the past, HRSA conducted the
Health Center Patient Survey (HCPS), which surveys patients of HRSA-
funded 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-funded health centers. The renewal of
the HCPS will use 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.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on January 4,
2023, vol. 88, No. 2; pp. 361-362. There were no public comments.
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-funded 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. 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 three eligible participants in the main survey were screened with this form.
