Information Collection Request Title: HIV Quality Measures Module
OMB No. 0906-0022--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states, and local clinics/community-based
organizations to deliver efficient and effective HIV care, treatment,
and support to low-income people with HIV. Since 1990, RWHAP has
developed a comprehensive system of safety net providers who deliver
high-quality direct health care and support services to over half a
million people with HIV--more than 50 percent of all people with
diagnosed HIV in the United States.
RWHAP Parts A, B, C and D recipients and subrecipients must follow
legislative requirements for the establishment of clinical quality
management programs to assess the extent to which their HIV services
are consistent with the most recent HHS Clinical Treatment guidelines.
In support of these requirements, HRSA created the HIV Quality Measures
(HIVQM) Module as an online tool to assist recipients in meeting the
clinical quality management program requirement by allowing recipients
to input data for the HRSA performance measures. HRSA maintains over 40
performance measures across the following categories: (1) core, (2) all
ages, (3) adolescent/adult, (4) HIV-infected children, (5) HIV-exposed
children, (6) medical case management, (7) oral health, (8) AIDS drug
assistance program, and (9) systems-level. The HIVQM Module also
supports the requirement imposed by the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for HHS Award (45
CFR 75.301) that recipients relate financial data to performance
accomplishments of their Federal awards. The HIVQM Module helps
recipients set goals and monitor performance measures and quality
improvement projects. The use of the HIVQM Module is voluntary for
RWHAP recipients but strongly encouraged.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The HIVQM Module supports
recipients and sub-recipients in their clinical quality management
programs, performance measurement, service delivery, and monitoring of
client health outcomes and quality of HIV services. The HIVQM Module is
accessible via the RWHAP Services Report, an existing online portal
that RWHAP recipients use for required data collection of their
services. Recipients may enter performance measure data into the HIVQM
Module four times a year and then generate reports to assess their
performance. Recipients have the option to enter data for specific
populations for a subset of performance measures. Recipients may also
compare their performance against other recipients in their state,
region, and in the nation. Additionally, recipients can choose the
performance measures they want to monitor and enter data accordingly.
For recipients and sub-recipients participating in the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Incentive Programs, such as the Medicare Promoting
Interoperability Program and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System,
the HIVQM Module may be used to monitor the HRSA measures that qualify
and comply with the requirements to receive incentives from these
programs.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D
recipients and their sub-recipients.
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
[[Page 23533]]
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.
