Information Collection Request Title: 

Rural Health Care Coordination Program 

OMB No. 0906–0024—Reinstate with 

Changes. 

Abstract: The Rural Health Care 

Coordination Program (Care 

Coordination Program) is authorized 

under Section 330A(e) of the Public 

Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254(e)), as 

amended, to ‘‘improve access and 

quality of care through the application 

of care coordination strategies with the 

focus areas of collaboration, leadership 

and workforce, improved outcomes, and 

sustainability in rural communities.’’ 

This authority permits HRSA’s Federal 

Office of Rural Health Policy to support 

rural health consortiums/networks 

aiming to achieve the overall goals of 

improving access, delivery, and quality 

of care through the application of care 

coordination strategies in rural 

communities. 

This ICR was discontinued in January 

2020. HRSA is requesting a 

reinstatement with changes as it was 

decided to re-compete this pilot 

program. 

The proposed Rural Health Care 

Coordination Program draft measures 

for information collection reflect 

changes to the Clinical Measures 

section, which was previously in 

section eight and now currently in 

section six. The Clinical Measures 

Section now expands previous project 

focus from three chronic diseases (i.e. 

Type 2 diabetes, Congestive Heart 

Failure, and Chronic Obstructive 

Pulmonary Disease) to an inclusive list 

of clinical measures in order to reflect 

a patient’s overall health and well-being 

as well as the organization’s overall 

improved outcomes for the project. 

Proposed revisions also include 

measures to examine key elements cited 

for a successful rural care coordination 

program: (1) Collaboration, (2) 

leadership and workforce, (3) improved 

outcomes, and (4) sustainability. 

1. Collaboration—Utilizing a 

collaborative approach to coordinate 

and deliver health care services through 

a consortium, in which member 

organizations actively engage in 

integrated, coordinated, patientcentered delivery of health care 

services. 

2. Leadership and Workforce— 

Developing and strengthening a highly 

skilled care coordination workforce to 

respond to vulnerable populations’ 

unmet needs within the rural 

communities. 

3. Improved Outcomes—Expanding 

access and improving care quality and 

delivery, and health outcomes through 

evidence-based model and/or promising 

practices tailored to meet the local 

populations’ needs. 

4. Sustainability—Developing and 

strengthening care coordination 

program’s financial sustainability by 

establishing effective revenue sources 

such as expanded service 

reimbursement, resource sharing, and/or 

contributions from partners at the
