Proposed Project
Synthesis of AHRQ–Funded HAI
Projects
The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) requests that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approve, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, AHRQ’s
collection of information for the
Synthesis of AHRQ–Funded HAI
Projects.
For approximately a decade, AHRQ
has conducted research on preventing
healthcareassociated infections (HAIs),
both internally and through contracts
and grants. AHRQ’s grant- and contractsupported projects have been directed at
the major types of HAIs: Central-lineassociated bloodstream infections
(CLABSI), catheter-associated urinary
tract infections (CAUTI), surgical site
infections (S SI), ventilator-associated
pneumonia (VAP), methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and
Clostridium difficile (C. cliff.). Projects
have addressed the problem of HAIs in
diverse healthcare settings, including
hospitals, ambulatory settings
(ambulatory surgery centers, end-stage
renal disease facilities, and outpatient
clinics and offices), and long-term care
facilities. AHRQ’s portfolio of HAI
projects has emphasized a combination
of research and implementation
initiatives. In the latter category, a major
focus of AHRQ’s efforts has been to
deploy tools that can improve provider
performance and reduce HAIs. Based on
the earlier success of the Michigan
Keystone project, AHRQ has funded
projects to implement the
Comprehensive Unit-based Safety
Program (CUSP) to address CLABSI and
CAUTI nationwide. Data are now
emerging that demonstrate the success
of CUSP in reducing CLABSI in
hospitals across the nation.
Between 2007 and 2010, AHRQ
funded 40 contracts and 18 grants
focusing on expanding the HAI
knowledge base and implementing HAI
prevention strategies. Today it is

E:\FR\FM\06APN1.SGM

06APN1

20821

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 67 / Friday, April 6, 2012 / Notices
necessary to look across these projects
in order to (1) identify, document, and
synthesize their findings and results to
ensure that AHRQ, healthcare
professionals, and the public can make
best use of these findings and (2)
identify remaining gaps in the HAI
science base to enable AHRQ to fund
future studies that will address these
needs. The synthesis will draw on
several data sources, including
interviews with project leaders. In
addition to learning about studies that
have not published peer-reviewed
manuscripts, the interviews will enable
the project team to delve into project
details that are not typically available in
publications, such as the project leader’s
motivation for responding to the request
for proposal, challenges faced in
implementing the project, changes in
the project’s delivery schedule or work
plan, experts’ views on how HAI
prevention evidence generated by a
specific project fits into the HAI
research agenda more broadly, and
remaining gaps in the HAI knowledge
base.
AHRQ has contracted with IMPAQ
International, LLC, to develop this
synthesis, identify gaps, and promote
the widespread application of
successful HAI prevention approaches.
This research has the following goals:
(1) Identify and document findings and
synthesize results of AHRQ-funded HAI
projects; (2) Disseminate key findings
from the HAI projects; and (3) Identify
remaining gaps in the HAI knowledge
base.

This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, IMPAQ
International, LLC and its subcontractor,
the RAND Corporation, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research and disseminate
information on healthcare and on
systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collection will be
implemented:
(1) Interviews with contractors—
Interviews will be conducted with the
project leaders (project directors or
project managers) from 40 HAT
contractors. The purpose of these
interviews is to identify (a) key findings,
(b) gaps in knowledge base, (c) lessons
learned, (d) effective approaches for
preventing and reducing HAIs, and e)
opportunities for additional projects
focused on generating and
implementing knowledge on preventing
HAIs.
(2) Interviews with grantees—
Interviews will be conducted with the
project leaders (principal investigators)
from 18 HAI grantees. Similar to the
interviews with contractors, the purpose
of these interviews is to identify (a) key
findings, (b) gaps in knowledge base, (c)
lessons learned, (d) effective approaches

for preventing and reducing HAIs, and
(e) opportunities for additional projects
focused on generating and
implementing knowledge on preventing
HAIs. While the goals of the interviews
with contractors and grantees are
similar, the two audiences require
separate interview protocols because
their funding mechanisms and project
structures differ. For example, contracts
have more structured deliverable
schedules than do grants and grants are
more likely than contracts to be on
investigator-initiated topics.
AHRQ will interview key project
leaders to learn about the processes and
methods used, results achieved, and
lessons learned under the AHRQ-funded
HAI contracts and grants. This
information will enable AHRQ to
identify effective approaches for
preventing and reducing HAIs and for
promoting the widespread application
of these approaches. Finally, collecting
data from these audiences will allow
AHRQ to detect gaps in the HAI science
base and identify opportunities for
additional projects focused on
generating and implementing
knowledge on preventing HAIs.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in this
evaluation. Interviews will be
conducted with 40 contractors and 18
grantees and each will last about 90
minutes. The total burden hours are
estimated to be 87.

The respondents are the project
leaders, that is, project directors for the
contracts and principal investigators for
the grants. Based on the type of grant
and the project leaders’ qualifications,
the project leaders were categorized into
three labor categories: Social Scientists
and Related Workers; Epidemiologists;

and Medical Scientists. For example,
one project director conducting a
randomized controlled trial is a
physician and was categorized into the
Medical Scientist labor category. Other
project leaders have advanced degrees
in the social sciences (e.g., gerontology)
or epidemiology and were included in

the Social Scientist or Epidemiologist
labor categories, as appropriate.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
the respondent’s time to participate in
the evaluation. The total cost burden is
estimated to be $3,450.
