SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: Rural Health Care 
Coordination Network Partnership Program Performance Improvement 
Measurement System.
    OMB No. 0915-xxxx-New.
    Abstract: The Rural Health Care Coordination Network Partnership 
(Care Coordination) Program is authorized under section 330A(f) of the 
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254(c)(f)), as amended, to 
``support the development of formal, mature rural health networks that 
focus on care coordination activities for the following chronic 
conditions: diabetes, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive 
pulmonary disease.'' This authority permits the Federal Office of Rural 
Health Policy (FORHP) to support grants for eligible entities to 
promote, through planning and implementation, the development of 
integrated health care networks that have combined the functions of the 
entities participating in the networks to: (i) Achieve efficiencies; 
(ii) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of essential 
health care services; and (iii) strengthen the rural health care system 
as a whole.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program, 
performance measures were drafted to provide data to the program and to 
enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress 
under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. These 
measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to FORHP, 
including: (a) Access to care; (b) population demographics; (c) 
staffing; (d) sustainability; (e) health information technology; (f) 
quality improvement; (g) care coordination; and (h) clinical measures. 
Several measures will be used for the Outreach Program. All measures 
will speak to FORHP's progress toward meeting the goals.
    Likely Respondents: The respondents would be recipients of the Care 
Coordination program funding.
    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.
