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.
