of the information to be collected; and
(4) the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
Title of the Collection: National
Survey of Health Information Exchange
Organizations (HIO).
Type of Collection: Reinstatement
with Change.
OMB No.: 0955–0019.
Abstract: Electronic health
information exchange (HIE) was one of
three goals specified by Congress in the
2009 Health Information Technology for
Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)
Act to ensure that the $30 billion federal
investment in certified electronic health
records (CEHRTs) resulted in higherquality, lower-cost care. In subsequent
rulemaking and regulations, ensuring
that providers can share data
electronically across EHRs and other
health information systems has been a
top priority.
Beginning prior to HITECH, there has
been substantial ongoing assessment of
trends in the capabilities of health
information organizations to support
clinical exchange. These surveys have
collected data on organizational
structure, financial viability, geographic
coverage, scope of services, scope of
participants, perceptions of information
blocking, and participation in national
networks and TEFCA. While past
surveys assessed HIOs’ capacity to
support HIE in a variety of ways, they
did not closely examine how HIOs
support public health exchange. Each of
these areas of data collection will be
useful to constructing a current and
more comprehensive picture of HIOs’
role in addressing public health
emergencies.
Given the evolving nature of the
pandemic, assessing HIOs’ current
capabilities is critical as there are
ongoing needs to share varied types of
information that HIOs may be
supporting. The survey will collect data
from HIOs across the nation. These
organizations facilitate electronic

exchange of health information across
disparate providers, labs, pharmacies,
public health departments, and beyond.
Little information exists on how HIOs
can address information gaps related to
public health. Thus, a first step to
addressing these gaps, we need to better
characterize existing capabilities of
HIOs. The success of managing the
current pandemic, and future public
health emergencies, relies on the ability
to efficiently share key data regarding
health system capacity, contact tracing,
testing, detecting new outbreaks,
vaccine updates, and patient
demographics to help address
disparities in our response efforts.
In addition to measuring the
capabilities to support public health, it
is also necessary to understand the
broader picture of HIO capabilities to
support electronic health information
exchange, their maturity and challenges
they face. There are four key areas that
require this broader assessment: (1)
Adoption of technical standards; (2)
perceptions related to information
blocking; (3) HIE coordination at the
federal level; and (4) organizational
demographics, including technical
capabilities offered by HIOs and the
challenges they face in supporting
electronic health information exchange.
The ultimate goal of our project is to
administer a survey instrument to HIOs
in order to generate the most current
national statistics and associated
actionable insights to inform policy
efforts. The timely collection of national
data from our survey will assess current
capabilities to support effective
electronic information sharing within
our healthcare system related to
COVID–19 and other public health
relevant data.
This is a 3-year request for OMB
approval.
Likely respondents: U.S. based public
and private HIOs.

Title of the Collection: Evaluation of
the Extension of the Certified
Community Behavioral Health Clinic
(CCBHC) Demonstration Program.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No.: OS–0990–New.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) at the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval for new data
collection activities to support its
evaluation of the extension of the
Certified Community Behavioral Health
Clinic (CCBHC) demonstration program.
Section 223 of the Protecting Access
to Medicare Act (Pub. L. 113–93;
PAMA) authorized the CCBHC
demonstration to allow states to test a
new strategy for delivering and
reimbursing a comprehensive array of
services provided in community
behavioral health clinics. The
demonstration aims to improve the
availability, quality, and outcomes of
outpatient services provided in these
clinics by establishing a standard
definition for CCBHCs and develops a
new Medicaid prospective payment
system (PPS) in each state that accounts
for the total cost of providing nine types

hours

of services to all people who seek care.
The PPS in each state is designed to
provide CCBHCs with the financial
support and stability necessary to
deliver these required services. The
demonstration also aims to incentivize
quality through quality bonus payments
to clinics and requires CCBHCs to report
quality measures and costs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: PAMA mandates that HHS
submit reports to Congress about the
Section 223 demonstration that assess
(1) access to community-based mental
health services under Medicaid in the
area or areas of a state targeted by a
demonstration program as compared to
other areas of the state, (2) the quality
and scope of services provided by
certified community behavioral health
clinics as compared to communitybased mental health services provided
in states not participating in a
demonstration program and in areas of
a demonstration state that are not
participating in the demonstration, and
(3) the impact of the demonstration on
the federal and state costs of a full range
of mental health services (including
inpatient, emergency, and ambulatory
services). The ability of ASPE to provide
this information to Congress requires a
rigorously designed and independent
evaluation of the CCBHC demonstration.
The data collected under this
submission will help ASPE address
research questions for the evaluation
and inform required reports to Congress.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this information collection
request are summarized in the table
below.
