Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of 
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed project 
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the 
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project Behavioral Health Information Technologies and 
Standards--In-Depth Qualitative Data Collection Activity--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Center for 
Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) are proposing to 
conduct qualitative data collection activities (i.e., focus group and 
site visits) to assess health information technology (HIT) adoption 
practices among SAMHSA grantees. As part of its Strategic Initiative to 
advance the use of health information technologies to support 
integrated behavioral health care, SAMHSA has been working to develop 
questions that will examine HIT adoption by behavioral health service 
providers who are implementing SAMHSA grant programs. The selected 
programs are funded by the by the Center for Mental Health Services 
(CMHS), the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), and (CSAT).
    This project seeks to expand data necessary to inform the Agency's 
strategic initiative that focuses on fostering the adoption of health 
information technologies in community behavioral health services. The 
qualitative activities will elicit success stories, challenges to 
adopting health information technologies, and lessons learned regarding 
SAMHSA grantee access to and use of health information technology and 
will provide valuable information to inform the behavioral health 
information technology literature.
    Approval of this data collection effort by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) will allow SAMHSA to identify the current status of 
health information technology adoption and use among a select group of 
grantees who have demonstrated success in at least one of the 
identified health information technology categories: Certified 
electronic health records, telehealth technologies, mobile health, and 
social media-based consumer engagement tools. Data from the focus 
groups and site visits will allow SAMHSA to enhance the health 
information technology-related programmatic activities among its

[[Page 44983]]

grantees by providing data on how health information technologies 
facilitate the implementation of different types of SAMHSA grants; 
thereby fostering the appropriate adoption of health information 
technologies within SAMSHA-funded programs.
    Ten (10) respective focus groups and site visit sessions will 
collect qualitative data to provide a snapshot view of the current 
state of health information technology adoption. The focus groups will 
include up to six participations per session and will be representative 
of the ten Department of Health and Human Services Regions. Site visit 
participants will be selected from among SAMHSA-funded grant programs 
and non-profit community behavioral health providers nominated by 
Project Officers as exemplars in the field of health information 
technologies, with recognized success in at least one of the four 
health information technology domain categories.
    The proposed ten (10) in-person focus group sessions will not 
exceed 90-minutes in duration and will be limited to no less than six 
(6) and no more than (8) participants. The proposed ten (10) in-person 
site visit sessions will not exceed eight (8) hours in duration and 
will include, on average two (2) participants at any one time during 
the visit. The focus group and site visit sessions are expected to 
occur between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and will allow 
sufficient time for food and personal breaks. The total estimated 
burden to participate in the focus groups is 120 hours. The total 
estimated burden to participate in the site visits is 160 hours. The 
following table summarizes the estimated participation burden:
