SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program 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
statutory 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
and to develop strategies to improve access to quality HIV services. 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) pediatric HIV, (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 Awards that recipients relate financial data to
performance accomplishments for their federal awards (2 CFR 200.301).
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. HRSA proposes the following
modifications:
<bullet> ``Gender'' will be removed and replaced with ``Sex at
Birth.''
<bullet> The available response options are: ``Male,'' ``Female,''
``Unknown.''
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on June 3,
2025, Volume 90, No. 105, pages 23532-33. There was one request for
clarification about the nature of the revisions in the collection.
Therefore, the 30-day FRN has language explaining the changes to the
collection.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The HIVQM Module supports
recipients and subrecipients 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 to 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 use 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.
The average burden per response declined from 1 hour to 0.2333
hours (approximately 14 minutes) based on pilot testing of the HIVQM
Module.
