SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public

public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the
ICR.

DATES: Comments on this ICR should be received no later than July 13,

proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and
draft instruments, email paperwork@hrsa.gov or call Lisa Wright-

Information Collection Request Title: Health Center Patient Survey,
OMB No. 0915-0368--Reinstatement with Change.
Abstract: HRSA supported health centers (those entities funded
under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act) deliver
comprehensive, affordable, quality primary health care to nearly 26
million patients nationwide, regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly
1,400 health centers operate more than 11,000 service delivery sites in
every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In the past, HRSA has conducted
the Health Center Patient Survey (HCPS), which surveys patients of HRSA
funded health centers. The HCPS collects information about
sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, health behaviors,
access to and use of health care services, and satisfaction with health
care received at HRSA funded health centers. HRSA will use the same
overarching modules from the 2014 HCPS but will employ changes designed
to streamline the questionnaire to minimize burden and to standardize
questions with other national surveys enabling comparative analyses
with particular focus on HHS and HRSA priority areas (e.g., mental
health and substance use). Survey results come from in-person, one-on-
one interviews with patients who are selected as nationally
representative of the Health Center Program patient population.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The HCPS uniquely focuses
on comprehensive, nationally representative, individual level data from
the perspective of health center patients. By investigating how well
HRSA funded health centers meet the health care needs of the medically
underserved and how patients perceive their quality of care, the HCPS
serves as an empirically based resource to inform HRSA policy, funding,
and planning decisions.
Likely Respondents: Patients at HRSA supported health centers.
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. Compared to previous HCPS, the estimated
burden hours for an individual respondent remains the same in the
reinstatement. However, the total annual burden hours and number of
survey respondents is anticipated to increase in order reflect the
growing number of patients served by the Health Center Program. The
total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the
table below.
