Impacts That Matter Most to Patients
(1) Of all the symptoms that you
experience because of your condition,
which one to three symptoms have the
most significant impact on your life?
(Examples may include red, thickened,
scaling skin, itching, burning, or
soreness, etc.)
(2) Are there specific activities that
are important to you but that you cannot
do at all or as fully as you would like
because of your condition? (Examples of
activities may include sleeping through
the night, daily hygiene, participation in
sports or social activities, intimacy with
a spouse or partner, etc.)
(3) How do your symptoms and their
negative impacts affect your daily life
on the best days? On the worst days?
(4) How have your condition and its
symptoms changed over time?
(a) Would you define your condition
today as being well managed?

symptom improvements or functional
improvements) in your condition that a
treatment could provide?
(5) What factors do you take into
account when making decisions about
selecting a course of treatment?
(a) What information on the potential
benefits of these treatments factors most
into your decision?
(b) How do you weigh the potential
benefits of these treatments versus the
common side effects of the treatments?
(Common side effects could include
headache, nausea, injection site
reactions.)
(c) How do you weigh potential
benefits of these treatments versus the
less common but serious risks
associated with the treatments?
(Examples of less common but serious
risks are infections, cancer, liver
damage, kidney damage, birth defects,
blood disorders, etc.)

Information Collection Request Title:
HIV Quality Measures (HIVQM) Module
OMB No. 0915–xxxx–New.
Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (RWHAP) provides entities
funded by the program with 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.
Under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Treatment Extension Act of 2009,
RWHAP Parts A–D recipients are
required to establish clinical quality
management programs in order to assess
their HIV services according to the most
recent Department of Health and Human
Services guidelines and to develop
strategies to improve access to quality
HIV services. The HIV Quality Measures
(HIVQM) module will be the HIV/AIDS
Bureau’s (HAB) voluntary online
reporting tool created to help facilitate
recipients in meeting these
requirements. Recipients and their
providers will enter aggregate data in
the HIVQM module on HAB
performance measures and then will be
able to generate reports to assess their
performance and compare their results
ADDRESSES:

to results at the state, regional, and
national levels. The HAB performance
measures include the following priority
performance measure categories: (1)
Core (those measures that emphasize
essential aspects of care and treatment,
align with the milestones along the HIV
care continuum, and are most feasible
for data collection); (2) all ages; (3)
adolescent/adult; (4) HIV-positive
children; (5) HIV-exposed children; (6)
medical case management; (7) oral
health; (8) AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP); and (9) system level
measures. The use of the HIVQM
module will be voluntary for RWHAP
recipients and services providers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The HIVQM Module will
be a voluntary online reporting tool that
supports recipients in monitoring their
performance in serving patients
particularly in access to care and the
provision of quality HIV services, and to
reduce HIV-related morbidity and
mortality among people living with
HIV/AIDS. These data will help
RWHAP recipients document their
strengths, identify gaps in performance
and areas for improvement, and plan
how to enhance future delivery of
quality care to their patients.
The HIVQM module will also assist
RWHAP recipients in meeting the
requirement to construct quality
assurance structures in their provision
of HIV care services. In addition, for
recipients and service providers
participating in the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Incentive Programs, such
as the Medicare and Medicaid
Electronic Health Records Incentive
Program and the Physician Quality
Reporting System, the module will be
consistent to qualify and comply with
the requirements to receive incentives
from these programs. Finally, the
module will assist HAB in identifying
recipients and service providers that are

supporting the aims of the National
HIV/AIDS Strategy in establishing a
system that links HIV positive
individuals to continuous and
coordinated quality care.
The module will be available for data
entry 3 times a year. The module will
be accessible via the HRSA Electronic
Handbook (EHB) Ryan White Services
Report (RSR) portal, an existing online
tool that RWHAP recipients already use
for required data collection on their
services. Recipients will choose which
performance measures they want to
monitor and enter data accordingly.
Reports of performance measures can be
generated and reviewed by the
recipients or their service providers and
can be compared to results at the state,
regional, and national levels.
Likely Respondents: Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program Part A, Part B, Part C, and
Part D recipients and their service
providers and the AIDS Drug Assistance
Program recipients.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
