Information Collection Request Title: Office on Women's Health: IPV
Provider Network Cross-Site Evaluation

Abstract: The Affordable Care Act (PHS 2713) requires health
insurance plans to cover preventive care and screening for women as
defined by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
Women's Preventive Services Guidelines, including screening and
counseling for interpersonal and domestic violence. In addition, the
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a recommendation for IPV
(interpersonal violence) screening in clinical settings. As part of the
administration's efforts to create a health system that better
addresses the needs of IPV victims, the Office on Women's Health (OWH)
at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has established the
IPV Provider Network program. The program requires partnerships between
health care providers and IPV service programs to evaluate systems for
integrating IPV interventions into basic clinical care. Each of the
five selected OWH grantees is required to establish Memoranda of
Understanding with 5 to 10 partners that provide services (e.g., legal,
housing, substance use, mental health) to clients referred by the
grantee health providers. The overall goal of the IPV Provider Network
project is to understand and assess the strategies implemented by the
five different IPV Provider Network programs designed to improve care
coordination for IPV screening/referred patients. OWH will use program
assessment findings to support future work with federal and state
partners to disseminate the evidence-based strategies that are created.
The purpose of this data collection is to gather data from the
grantees' service provider partners to answer the research question:
What feedback is available from the service partners to refine the IPV
referral and follow-up processes? OWH contractor NORC at the University
of Chicago will collect and analyze two sources of primary data. The
first data source will be a brief online survey administered to a
single representative of each of the partners, assessing (a) the
partnership with the respective OWH grantee's health care provider and
(b) the services that partner provides to the women referred by the
health care provider. The second data source is a key informant
interview with a single representative of each partner, providing a
mechanism for the key informant to elaborate on their agency's survey
response data. Direct contact with the partners is necessary to
understand the nature of each grantee's provider network partnerships,
including what works and what does not work.
Likely Respondents: Medical and Health Services Managers.
