Office of the Secretary

[Docket ID DoD-2013-HA-0107]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, 
the following proposal for collection of information under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by January 
29, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Licari, 571-372-0493.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title, Associated Form and OMB Number: Patient Centered Medical 
Home (PCMH) Staff Satisfaction Survey; 0720-TBD.
    Type of Request: New.
    Number of Respondents: 3,105.
    Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Annual Responses: 6,210.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,035.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to measure satisfaction among staff at direct care military treatment 
facilities (MTFs) that have been identified as current or potential 
future PCMHs. The survey will ask staff members what new PCMH processes 
are or are not working well at the clinic. It will also ask about 
teamwork among staff at the clinic, the overall clinic environment, and 
what available resources are assisting them in their provision of 
quality patient centered care. Eligible staff include: Physicians, 
nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, licensed 
practical nurses, corpsmen, and administrative staff. Over the next 5-7 
years, the DoD will make a significant investment in this primary care 
transformation. By fielding a survey focused on primary care staff 
satisfaction, the MHS will be able to monitor our investment in PCMH 
and study how it affects our people. The goals of this survey effort 
are to assess staff satisfaction, attitudes and perceptions regarding 
the implementation of the Patient Centered Medical Home. Respondents 
will be all military, federal (GS/NSPS) and contracted medical 
professionals and support staff who work in PCMH clinics. The survey 
will be administered via a MHS/DoD platform that will capture response 
data. The survey will be administered via an online tool on a bi-annual 
basis to medical professionals and support staff. The population sample 
will receive a pre-notification, and reminder notifications to 
encourage participation.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households; MTF contractor 
providers and support staff.
    Frequency: Bi-annual.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Mr. Josh Brammer.
    Written comments and recommendations on the proposed information 
collection should be sent to Mr. Josh Brammer at the Office of 
Management and Budget, Desk Officer for DoD, Room 10236, New Executive
