SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
‘‘AHRQ Healthcare Innovations
Exchange Innovator Interview and
AHRQ Healthcare Innovations
Exchange Innovator E-mail Submission
Guidelines’’
To support its objective of
accelerating the diffusion and adoption
of innovative health care delivery
changes, see, e.g., 42 U.S.C. 299b–5(a),
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) is launching the AHRQ
Healthcare Innovations Exchange Web
site (Innovations Exchange). The
Innovations Exchange will make
profiles of health care service
innovations accessible to the public.
These innovations must meet the
following six criteria: (1) The innovation
focuses directly or indirectly on patient
care; (2) the innovation is intended to
improve one or more domains of health
care quality; (3) the activity is truly
innovative in the context of its setting
or target population; (4) information
about the innovation is publicly
available; (5) the innovator (or a
representative) is willing and able to
contribute information to the Health
Care Innovations Exchange; and (6)
there is reason to believe that the
innovation will be effective. These are
minimum requirements. The ultimate
decision to publish a detailed profile of
the innovation will depend on several
factors, including an evaluation by
AHRQ, AHRQ’s priorities, and the
number of similar ideas in the
Innovations Exchange. AHRQ’s
priorities include identifying and
highlighting innovations that will help
reduce disparities in health care and
health status, that will have significant

impact on the overall value of health
care, where the innovators have a strong
interest in participating, and that have
received support from AHRQ.
A purposively selected group of 825
health care innovations will be selected
to be considered for the profiles that
will be published on the Innovations
Exchange. These 825 innovations will
be selected to ensure that innovations
included in the Innovations Exchange
cover a broad range of health care
settings, care processes, priority
populations, and clinical conditions. To
collect the information required for
these profiles, approximately 825 health
care innovators associated with these
innovations will submit information on
their innovation using the AHRQ
Healthcare Innovations Exchange E-mail
Submission Guidelines or be contacted
by project staff. Innovators will be
interviewed by telephone about their
innovative activities.
Method of Collection
Approximately 825 innovators
associated with innovations selected for
consideration will either submit their
innovation through e-mail for
consideration or be contacted by
telephone and asked to participate.
Once their agreement to participate is
secured, the innovators will be
interviewed by telephone as needed (email submitters will be instructed to
provide specific information about their
innovation in their initial submissions
and may require only abbreviated
telephone interviews) about the
following aspects of their innovation:
health care problem addressed, impetus
for the innovation, goals of the
innovation, description of the
innovation, evaluation results for the
innovation, setting for the innovation,
history of planning and implementation
for the innovation, and lessons learned
concerning the implementation of the
innovation. If the innovation is
approved, a draft profile will be
developed based on the information and
sent by e-mail to the innovator for
review and approval to publish. After
the profile is published, on a yearly
basis, innovators will be asked to review
and update their profiles. No assurances

of confidentiality will be made to the
innovator.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents. Approximately 275
innovators will participate in the initial
data collection each year for a total of
825 over the three year period. Of the
275 respondents per year, we estimate
that approximately 15% (41) will
submit information via e-mail and will
thus be interviewed for a shorter period
of time. The remaining 234 respondents
that did not submit information via email will be interviewed more
extensively to capture the information
required. The estimated annualized
hours for the respondents’ time to
participate in the project is 401 hours.
Based on a review of materials from
potential innovations, we estimate that
approximately 10% of the candidate
innovations either will not meet the
inclusion criteria or their innovators
will decide not to continue their
participation. Therefore, about 90%
(750) of the original 825 profiles will
move into the publication stage.
For the 750 published profiles, annual
follow-up interviews will be conducted
to update the information about the
innovation, which will average 30
minutes. Because the profiles will be
prepared on a rolling basis over three
years, the average number of yearly
follow-up reviews per innovator will
vary:
Æ One third (250) of the profiles will
be prepared in the first year and will
have 2 annual reviews;
Æ One third (250) of the profiles will
be prepared in the second year and will
have 1 annual review; and
Æ One third (250) of the profiles will
be prepared in the third year and will
have 0 annual reviews.
Approximately 750 follow-up
interviews will be conducted over the 3
years of this project resulting in an
annualized average of 250 follow-up
interviews per year, even though no
follow-up interviews will be conducted
in the first year.

Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden for the
respondents. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported that the average
hourly wage for ‘‘healthcare practitioner

and technical occupations’’ in the
United States was $29.82 in May 2006.
An estimate of $30 per hour allows for
inflation and represents a conservative
estimate of the wages of the

respondents. Therefore, the total
estimated cost burden for respondents is
$12,030, based on the total estimated
annualized burden of 401 hours.

Estimated Annual Costs to the Federal
Government
The total cost to the Government is
approximately $3,349,560 over three
years (on average, $1,116,520 per year).
These costs cover the total editorial and
content development processes
associated with the project; which
include developing an on-line authoring
tool for preparing the profiles,
identifying innovation leads, reviewing
e-mail submissions, contacting the
innovators, conducting interviews,
preparing the draft profiles, securing
innovator approval, and publishing the
profiles on the Innovations Exchange
Web site.
Request for Comments
In accordance with the above-cited
Paperwork Reduction Act legislation,
comments on AHRQ’s information
collection are requested with regard to
any of the following: (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
AHRQ health care research, quality
improvement and information
dissemination functions, including

whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
AHRQ’s estimate of burden (including
hours and costs) of the proposed
collection(s) of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information upon the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the Agency’s subsequent
request for OMB approval of the
proposed information collection. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
