Abstract: This Information Collection Request is for OMB approval of a new information collection, the Behavioral Health Integration Evidence Based Telehealth Network Program (BHI EB-TNP) Outcome Measures. Under the BHI EB-TNP, HRSA administers cooperative agreements in accordance with section 330I(d)(1) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254c-14(d)(1)). The purpose of this program is to integrate behavioral health services into primary care settings using telehealth technology through telehealth networks and evaluate the effectiveness of such integration. This program supports evidence-based projects that utilize telehealth technologies through telehealth networks in rural and underserved areas to (1) improve access to integrated behavioral health services in primary care settings; and (2) expand and improve the quality of health information available to health care providers by evaluating the effectiveness of integrating telebehavioral health services into primary care settings and establishing an evidence-based model that can assist health care providers. HRSA created a set of outcome measures that focus on behavioral health to evaluate the effectiveness of grantees’ services programs and monitor their progress using performance reporting data.
