Information Collection Request Title: Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) Tool.
OMB No.: 0955-0009.
Abstract: The Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application is
a nimble business intelligence tool being used by more than 1,500 users
at ONC partner organizations and grantees. The CRM collects data from a
large number of users throughout the United States who are ``on the
ground'' helping healthcare providers adopt and optimize their IT
systems, it provides near real-time data about the adoption,
utilization, and meaningful use of EHR technology. Approximately half
of all Primary Care Providers in the nation are represented in the CRM
tool; data points include provider location, credential, specialty,
whether live on an EHR and what system, whether they've reached MU, the
time between these, and narrative barriers experienced by many of
these.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The CRM tool supplements
and is regularly merged with other data sources both within and outside
of HHS and tracks program performance and progress towards milestones.
Combined with ONC's internal analytical capacity, this data provides
feedback that goes beyond anecdotal evidence and can be turned into
tangible lessons learned that are used to focus policy and program
efforts and ultimately achieve concrete outcomes.
Likely Respondents: HITECH Grantees.
The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.

OS specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and utility
of the 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 use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
