SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

Small Health Care Provider Quality 

Improvement Program, OMB No. 0915– 

0387 Extension. 

Abstract: This program is authorized 

by Title III, Public Health Service Act, 

Section 330A(g) (42 U.S.C. 254c(g)), as 

amended; Public Law 115–245. This 

authority authorizes HRSA’s Federal 

Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) 

to issue grants that expand access to, 

coordinate, contain the cost of, and 

improve the quality of essential health 

care services, including preventive and 

emergency services, through the 

development of health care networks in 

rural and frontier areas and regions. 

Across these various programs, the 

authority allows HRSA to provide funds 

to rural communities to support the 

direct delivery of health care and related 

services, expand existing services, or 

enhance health service delivery through 

education, promotion, and prevention 

programs. 

The purpose of the Small Health Care 

Provider Quality Improvement Grant 

(Rural Quality) Program is to provide 

support to rural primary care providers 

for implementation of quality 

improvement activities. The goal of the 

program is to promote the development 

of an evidence-based culture and 

delivery of coordinated care in the 

primary care setting. Additional 

objectives of the program include 

improved health outcomes for patients, 

enhanced chronic disease management, 

and better engagement of patients and 

their caregivers. Organizations 

participating in the program are 

required to use an evidence-based 

quality improvement model, perform 

tests of change focused on 

improvement, and use health 

information technology (HIT) to collect 

and report data. HIT may include an 

electronic patient registry or an 

electronic health record, and is a critical 

component for improving quality and 

patient outcomes. With HIT it is 

possible to generate timely and 

meaningful data, which helps providers 

track and plan care. 

A 60-day Notice published in the 

Federal Register on February 24, 2021, 

vol. 86, No. 35; pp. 11306. There were 

no public comments. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: For this program, 

performance measures were drafted to 

provide data to the program and to 

enable HRSA to provide aggregate 

program data required by Congress 

under the Government Performance and 

Results Act of 1993. These measures 

cover the principal topic areas of 

interest to FORHP, including: (a) Access 

to care; (b) population demographics; (c) 

staffing; (d) consortium/network; (e) 

sustainability; and (f) project specific 

domains. All measures will speak to 

FORHP’s progress toward meeting the 

goals set. 

FORHP collects this information to 

quantify the impact of grant funding on 

access to health care, quality of services, 

and improvement of health outcomes. 

FORHP uses the data for program 

improvement and grantees use the data 

for performance tracking. No changes 

are proposed from the current data 

collection effort. 

Likely Respondents: The respondents 

would be recipients of the Small Health 

Care Provider Quality Improvement 

Program. 

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 

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

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

collection burden.
