health care services in rural
communities; (2) deliver health care
services through a strong consortium, in
which every consortium member
organization is actively involved and
engaged in the planning and delivery of
services; (3) utilize and/or adapt an
evidence-based or promising practice
model(s) in the delivery of health care
services; and (4) improve population
health, demonstrate health outcomes
and sustainability.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The PIMS measures for the
Outreach Program enable HRSA and the
Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to
capture awardee-level and aggregate
data that illustrate the impact and scope
of federal funding. The collection of this
information helps further inform and
substantiate the focus and objectives of
the grant program. The measures
encompass the following topics: (a)
Access to care; (b) population
demographics; (c) consortium/network;

(d) sustainability; and (f) project specific
domains.
There are proposed revisions to the
currently approved Outreach Program
PIMS measures. The proposed Outreach
PIMS measures reflect a reduced
number of measures including the
following: 16 process measures
applicable to all awardees (previously
22), consolidation of the project-specific
measures (currently 7, previously 8),
and 8 clinical measures (previously 9).
In addition, the proposed measures
include the addition of two Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
calculators: The CDC Heart Age
calculator and the CDC BMI Percentile
Calculator for Child and Teen. Data for
both calculators will be collected on an
aggregate level and only from awardees
with applicable projects; the CDC Heart
Age calculator is specific to awardees
participating in the Health Improvement
Special Project while the CDC BMI
calculator is for projects focusing on
childhood obesity.

RHND funded programs promote
population health management and the
transition towards value based care
through diverse network membership
that include traditional and nontraditional network partners
collaborating to address the local
healthcare needs of the targeted
community. Evidence of program
effectiveness demonstrated by outcome
data and program sustainability are
integral components of the program.
This is a three-year competitive program
for mature networks composed of at
least three members that are separate,
existing health care providers entities.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: For this program,

performance measures provide data to
program staff and enable HRSA to
provide aggregate program data. These
measures cover the principal topic areas
of interest to the Federal Office of Rural
Health Policy, including: (a) Network
infrastructure; (b) sustainability; (c)
community impact; and (d) access and
quality of healthcare.
For this revised ICR, there are
proposed changes to several measures
that include network infrastructure,
sustainability, community impact, and
access and quality of healthcare.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
are the RHND Program grant recipients.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by

persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying

a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program’s (RWHAP) client-level data
reporting system, entitled the RWHAP
Services Report or the Ryan White
Services Report (RSR), is designed to
collect information from grant
recipients, as well as their
subcontracted service providers, funded
under Parts A, B, C, and D of the
RWHAP legislation. The RWHAP,
authorized under Title XXVI of the
Public Health Service Act, as amended
by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Extension Act of 2009, is administered
by the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) within
the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA). The RWHAP
awards funding to recipients to respond
effectively to the changing HIV
epidemic, with an emphasis on
providing life-saving and life-extending
services for people living with HIV in
the United States, as well as to target
resources to areas that have the greatest
needs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: All Parts of the RWHAP
specify HRSA’s responsibilities in
administering grant funds, allocating
funding, assessing HIV care outcomes
(e.g., viral suppression) and populations
served. The RSR will collect data on the
characteristics of RWHAP-funded
recipients, their contracted service
providers, and the patients or clients
served. The RSR system will consist of
two online data forms, the Recipient
