SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Sickle Cell Disease Treatment 
Demonstration Program--Quality Improvement Data Collection.
    OMB No.: 0906-xxxx-NEW.
    Abstract: In response to the growing need for resources and 
coordination of resources devoted to sickle cell disease and other 
hemoglobinopathies, the United States Congress, under Section 712 of 
the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-357) (42 U.S.C. 
300b-1 note), authorized a demonstration program for the prevention and 
treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) to be administered by HRSA's 
Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) in the U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services. The program is known as the Sickle Cell 
Disease Treatment Demonstration Program (SCDTDP). The SCDTDP is 
designed to improve access to services for individuals with sickle cell 
disease, improve and expand patient and provider education, and improve 
and expand the continuity and coordination of service delivery for 
individuals with sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait. The 
specific aims for the program are threefold: (1) Increase the number of 
providers treating persons with sickle cell disease, (2) increase the 
number of providers using evidence-based treatments in sickle cell 
disease, such as prescribing hydroxyurea, and (3) increase the number 
of providers knowledgeable about treating sickle cell disease and the 
number of sickle cell patients that are seen by providers knowledgeable 
about sickle cell disease.
    To achieve the goals and objectives of the program, the SCDTDP uses 
quality improvement (QI) methods in a collective impact model which 
supports cross-sector collaboration for achieving measurable effects on 
major social issues. The collective impact model requires shared 
measurement which facilitates tracking progress in a standardized 
method to promote learning and enhance continuous improvement.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of the 
proposed data collection strategy is to implement a system to monitor 
the progress of MCHB-funded activities in improving care and health 
outcomes for individuals living with sickle cell disease/trait and 
meeting the goals of the SCDTDP. Each regional grantee site will be 
asked to report on a core set of evidence-based measures related to 
healthcare utilization among individuals with sickle cell disease and 
the quality of care of the SCD population.
    The data collected for the SCDTDP will consist of administrative 
medical claims data collected from State Medicaid Programs and Medicaid 
Managed Care Organizations that administer Medicaid on behalf of 
states. The data is collected either for or by State Medicaid offices 
for delivery of services subject to Medicaid reimbursement.
    The data collection strategy will provide an effective and 
efficient mechanism to do the following: (1) Assess the improvements in 
access to care for sickle cell patients provided by activities in the 
SCDTDP; (2) collect, coordinate, and distribute data, best practices, 
and findings from regional grantee sites to drive improvement on

[[Page 41556]]

quality measures; (3) refine a common model protocol regarding the 
prevention and treatment of sickle cell disease; (4) examine/address 
barriers that individuals and families living with sickle cell disease 
face when accessing quality health care and health education; (5) 
evaluate the grantees' performance in meeting the objectives of the 
SCDTDP; and (6) provide HRSA and Congress with information on the 
overall progress of the program.
    Likely Respondents: Four regional grantee sites funded by HRSA 
under the SCDTDP will be the respondents for this data collection 
activity and submit responses gathered from State Medicaid Offices and 
State Medicaid Managed Care Organizations.
    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 summarized in the table below.
