Title of the Collection: National 

Survey of Health Information Exchange 

Organizations (HIO). 

Type of Collection: Reinstatement 

with Change. 

OMB No.: 0955–0019. 

Abstract: Electronic health 

information exchange (HIE) was one of 

three goals specified by Congress in the 

2009 Health Information Technology for 

Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) 

Act to ensure that the $30 billion federal 

investment in certified electronic health 

records (CEHRTs) resulted in higherquality, lower-cost care. In subsequent 

rulemaking and regulations, ensuring 

that providers can share data 

electronically across EHRs and other 

health information systems has been a 

top priority. 

Beginning prior to HITECH, there has 

been substantial ongoing assessment of 

trends in the capabilities of health 

information organizations to support 

clinical exchange. These surveys have 

collected data on organizational 

structure, financial viability, geographic 

coverage, scope of services, scope of 

participants, perceptions of information 

blocking, and participation in national 

networks and TEFCA. While past 

surveys assessed HIOs’ capacity to 

support HIE in a variety of ways, they 

did not closely examine how HIOs 

support public health exchange. Each of 

these areas of data collection will be 

useful to constructing a current and 

more comprehensive picture of HIOs’ 

role in addressing public health 

emergencies. 

Given the evolving nature of the 

pandemic, assessing HIOs’ current 

capabilities is critical as there are 

ongoing needs to share varied types of 

information that HIOs may be 

supporting. The survey will collect data 

from HIOs across the nation. These 

organizations facilitate electronic 

exchange of health information across 

disparate providers, labs, pharmacies, 

public health departments, and beyond. 

Little information exists on how HIOs 

can address information gaps related to 

public health. Thus, a first step to 

addressing these gaps, we need to better 

characterize existing capabilities of 

HIOs. The success of managing the 

current pandemic, and future public 

health emergencies, relies on the ability 

to efficiently share key data regarding 

health system capacity, contact tracing, 

testing, detecting new outbreaks, 

vaccine updates, and patient 

demographics to help address 

disparities in our response efforts. 

In addition to measuring the 

capabilities to support public health, it 

is also necessary to understand the 

broader picture of HIO capabilities to 

support electronic health information 

exchange, their maturity and challenges 

they face. There are four key areas that 

require this broader assessment: (1) 

Adoption of technical standards; (2) 

perceptions related to information 

blocking; (3) HIE coordination at the 

federal level; and (4) organizational 

demographics, including technical 

capabilities offered by HIOs and the 

challenges they face in supporting 

electronic health information exchange. 

The ultimate goal of our project is to 

administer a survey instrument to HIOs 

in order to generate the most current 

national statistics and associated 

actionable insights to inform policy 

efforts. The timely collection of national 

data from our survey will assess current 

capabilities to support effective 

electronic information sharing within 

our healthcare system related to 

COVID–19 and other public health 

relevant data. 

This is a 3-year request for OMB 

approval. 

Likely respondents: U.S. based public 

and private HIOs.

Title of the Collection: Evaluation of 

the Extension of the Certified 

Community Behavioral Health Clinic 

(CCBHC) Demonstration Program. 

Type of Collection: New. 

OMB No.: OS–0990–New. 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) at the U.S. Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) is 

requesting Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approval for new data 

collection activities to support its 

evaluation of the extension of the 

Certified Community Behavioral Health 

Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration program. 

Section 223 of the Protecting Access 

to Medicare Act (Pub. L. 113–93; 

PAMA) authorized the CCBHC 

demonstration to allow states to test a 

new strategy for delivering and 

reimbursing a comprehensive array of 

services provided in community 

behavioral health clinics. The 

demonstration aims to improve the 

availability, quality, and outcomes of 

outpatient services provided in these 

clinics by establishing a standard 

definition for CCBHCs and develops a 

new Medicaid prospective payment 

system (PPS) in each state that accounts 

for the total cost of providing nine types 

of services to all people who seek care. 

The PPS in each state is designed to 

provide CCBHCs with the financial 

support and stability necessary to 

deliver these required services. The 

demonstration also aims to incentivize 

quality through quality bonus payments 

to clinics and requires CCBHCs to report 

quality measures and costs. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: PAMA mandates that HHS 

submit reports to Congress about the 

Section 223 demonstration that assess 

(1) access to community-based mental 

health services under Medicaid in the 

area or areas of a state targeted by a 

demonstration program as compared to 

other areas of the state, (2) the quality 

and scope of services provided by 

certified community behavioral health 

clinics as compared to communitybased mental health services provided 

in states not participating in a 

demonstration program and in areas of 

a demonstration state that are not 

participating in the demonstration, and 

(3) the impact of the demonstration on 

the federal and state costs of a full range 

of mental health services (including 

inpatient, emergency, and ambulatory 

services). The ability of ASPE to provide 

this information to Congress requires a 

rigorously designed and independent 

evaluation of the CCBHC demonstration. 

The data collected under this 

submission will help ASPE address 

research questions for the evaluation 

and inform required reports to Congress. 

The total annual burden hours 

estimated for this information collection 

request are summarized in the table 

below.
