The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program's
client-level data reporting system was created in 2009 by HRSA. It
is designed to collect information from grantees and their
subcontracted service providers. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
provides funded entities with a flexibility to respond effectively
to the changing HIV epidemic, with an emphasis on providing
life-saving and life-extending services for people living with HIV
across this country.
The current inventory for the
RSR is for 122,550 burden hours, an increase of 104,575 hours from
the currently approved burden of 17,975 hours per year. This change
in burden largely reflects HAB's push to improve grantee data
collection, completeness and quality. One grantee stated that
providers are now required to review Completeness Reports
throughout the year to identify, locate and complete missing data.
Other reasons for the increase in burden as stated by grantees
include: • Training of providers in completing the Provider and
Client Report due to increased staff turnover • Provision of
technical assistance to providers year round • Some grantees have
invested more time to improve the automation of their data
collection • Increased availability of electronic or paper records
to retrieve client data means spending more time to improve the
quality of the data (e.g. not leaving data missing) • Staff skill
sets may be inadequate The increase in burden estimates is also
likely attributable to asking questions in this latest sample of
grantee that cover more of the scope of their data collection and
reporting activities (e.g. improving data quality and monitoring
data collection year-round) and with greater specificity than for
estimating burden when grantees were sampled for previous renewals.
Finally, all grantees who responded with burden estimates expressed
that the current data elements changes in the Client Report
described above would have little to no affect in burden
estimates.
