By creating a central point of collection for information about all patient registries in the United States, the Registry of Patient Registries (RoPR) helps to further AHRQ's goals by making information regarding quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of health services (and patient registries in particular) more readily available and centralized.
US Code:
42 USC 299
Name of Law: Healthcare Research and Quality Act of 1999
This is an ongoing collection of information. While user participation burden remains voluntary and minimal, with continued marketing of the RoPR as knowledge repository for patient registries, it is anticipated that the number of respondents will increase over time. The total burden hours, however, will remain the same as previously stated in Exhibit 2.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
