[[Page 76364]]

Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), OAT, has worked with its 
grantees to develop performance measures to be used to evaluate and 
monitor the progress of the grantees. Grantee goals are as follows: To 
improve access to needed services, reduce rural practitioner isolation, 
improve health system productivity and efficiency, and improve patient 
outcomes. In each of these categories, specific indicators were 
designed and are reported through a performance monitoring Web site. 
These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to FORHP. 
The data are used for program improvement and grantees use the data for 
performance tracking and improvement. Revisions include minor additions 
to the OAT Performance Improvement Measurement System (PIMS) to capture 
minimal data on access to care, population demographics, insurance 
status, quality improvement and clinical measures.
    Likely Respondents: Telehealth Network Grantees.
    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.
