BHW Change Memo 2016 UDS

DATE: March 17, 2016

TO: Stephanie Mok, OMB Desk Officer

FROM: Lisa Wright-Solomon, HRSA Information Collection Clearance Officer

SUBJECT: Non-substantive change request for the OMB clearance package for the Health Resources and Services Administration’s, Uniform Data System (UDS) Information Collection (OMB #0915-0193, expires 02/28/2018)

This is a request for a non-substantive change to the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Uniform Data System (UDS) Information Collection (OMB #0915-0193, expires 02/28/2018). The change consists of increasing the estimated number of respondents to include a sub-set of recipients of the Bureau of Health Workforce (BHW) Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention program – specifically those recipients that are funded under the practice priorities. The UDS is HRSA’s annual reporting system used by the Bureau of Primary Healthcare (BPHC) for HRSA-supported health centers. This expansion will standardize the clinical quality and performance data collection efforts among the HRSA sub-agencies (BPHC and BHW) charged with the delivery of primary care services to underserved communities and vulnerable populations.

This non-substantive change will increase the number of respondents by 81 and impose an estimated additional annual average total burden of 170 hours per respondent. This would bring the total approved respondents to 1,882 and the total burden under this clearance to 246,088 hours for this annual data collection. These changes are detailed in Table 1.
