As per HRSA memo of 1-17-08, HRSA shall exercise caution when inferring a causal relatinship between the implementation of health IT and performance measures, particularly with regard to the use of these data for PART or reports to Congress. All data limitations shall be publicly disclosed along with the reporting of such inferences and disclaimers shall be used accordingly. In addition, since HRSA does not expect substantial changes to occur in between annual reports, HRSA shall assess the utility of asking grantees to provide semi-annual progress reports in addition to the annual reports upon next submission and seek appropriate ways whereby the reporting burden may be minimized.
