	Date Received in OIRA: 07/25/2000
Terms of Clearance: Approved for use through 5/2001 with the understanding that this effort will not definatively evaluate informatics and telemedicine applications since its results are limited to New York State and cannot be generalized nation wide. In addition, it is unclear how this effort will evaluate the costs versus the benefits of these applications; HCFA must follow-up with more detail on linkages with existing claims data bases that will facilitate this analysis. Finally, HCFA must: 1) incorporate the appropriate disclosure statements as mandated by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; and 2) amend all race/enthnicity questions consistent with OMB Directive 15.

Abstract: Section 4207 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 mandated HCFA to conduct a demonstration project to evaluate the effectiveness of advanced computer and telecommunications technology ("telemedicine") to manage the care of people with diabetes. HCFA issued a request for proposals and, after review of the responses, selected a consortium led by Columbia University to conduct this project.
