HRSA Telehealth Outcome Measures (OMB No. 0915-0311)--Extension

    In order to help carry out its mission, the Office for the 
Advancement of Telehealth (OAT) created a set of performance measures 
that grantees can use to evaluate the effectiveness of their services 
programs and monitor their progress through the use of performance 
reporting data. As required by the Government Performance and Review 
Act of 1993 (GPRA), all Federal agencies must develop strategic plans 
describing their overall goal and objectives. OAT has worked with its 
grantees to develop performance measures to be used to evaluate and 
monitor the progress of the grantees. Grantee goals are to: improve 
access to needed services; reduce rural practitioner isolation; improve 
health system productivity and efficiency; and improve patient 
outcomes. In each of these categories, specific indicators were 
designed to be reported through a performance monitoring Web site.
    The estimates of burden are as follows:
