SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: The Alliance for Innovation
on Maternal Health Biannual Survey, OMB No. 0915-xxxx--New.
Abstract: The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM)
program is administered by HRSA and authorized by 42 U.S.C. 254c-21
(Public Health Service Act, Title III Section 330O), as added by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Pub. L. 117-103).
The AIM program supports the identification, development,
implementation, and dissemination of maternal (patient) safety bundles
to promote safe care for every U.S. birth and assist with addressing
the complex problem of high maternal mortality and severe maternal
morbidity rates within the U.S. The mission of AIM is to support best
practices that make birth safer, improve the quality of maternal health
care and outcomes, and save lives. Maternal patient safety bundles
address topics commonly associated with health complications or risks
related to prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care.
The AIM program consists of two components: The AIM Capacity
program and the AIM Technical Assistance (TA) Center. The AIM Capacity
awards began in fiscal year 2023 and directly fund 28 states and
jurisdictions (including U.S. territories and the District of Columbia)
to implement AIM maternal patient safety bundles. The second component,
the AIM TA Center, is funded through a cooperative agreement to provide
TA to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, jurisdictions, U.S.
territories, tribal communities, and birthing facilities who
participate in the AIM program. The TA Center builds data capacity for
participating entities to track progress on bundle implementation and
support improvement of data collection.
The funding amount for the AIM program was increased in fiscal year
2023, which allowed HRSA to directly fund states and territories to
support AIM bundle implementation. Previously, HRSA supported AIM
through one cooperative agreement to develop maternal patient safety
bundles, provide TA on bundle implementation, and enroll states and
territories in the program. The shift to directly fund
[[Page 23025]]
states and jurisdictions for the work makes the collection of
information about the reach of the program, participation by birthing
facilities, and TA needs necessary. The AIM Biannual Survey will be
administered to AIM State Teams (the state-or jurisdiction-level entity
leading AIM implementation) twice a year in all states and
jurisdictions enrolled in AIM. Respondents will include AIM State Teams
that receive HRSA funding through the AIM Capacity program, as well as
AIM State Teams that do not receive HRSA funding to implement AIM, to
gauge the full reach of the program.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 7,
2023, vol. 88, No. 234; pp. 85298-85299. There were four public
comments received. Two comments suggested changes that were
incorporated into the instrument, one comment was a request for
materials, and one comment was out-of-scope and no changes to the
proposed data collection were made.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information will be
used by the HRSA program team to understand and report on AIM program
reach and potential growth regarding participating birthing facilities
and patient safety bundles implemented, inform development of resources
and types of TA offered, and develop program targets. In addition,
information on the number of participating birthing facilities and
patient safety bundles being implemented is shared on the HRSA and
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists AIM websites. The
biannual survey is the only place this information is collected.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are AIM State Teams in all states
and jurisdictions enrolled in AIM, including AIM Capacity award
recipients and AIM State Teams that do not receive direct funding from
HRSA.
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.
