Abstract: HRSA requests a revision of its approved Telehealth Resource Center (TRC) Performance Measurement Tool and renewal of the previously approved performance measures. TRCs deliver telehealth technical assistance under cooperative agreements awarded by HRSA’s Office for the Advancement of Telehealth, as authorized by section 330I(d)(2) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. § 254c-14(d)(2)). There are two types of HRSA TRC programs: Two National TRC Programs focus on policy and technology, Twelve Regional TRC Programs host activities and provide resources to rural and underserved areas. HRSA TRCs: provide training and support, publicize information and research findings, support collaboration and partnerships, promote effective partnerships, and promote the use of telehealth by providing health care information and education to the public and medical specialists. TRCs share expertise through individual consults, training, webinars, conference presentations, and the web. HRSA collects information using the TRC Performance Measurement Tool. HRSA seeks to revise its approved information collection because the electronic system for submitting information to HRSA has changed from the Performance Improvement Management System to Data Collection Platform as a Service (DCP). Although the electronic system has changed, the information collected using the TRC Performance Measurement Tool has not changed and HRSA’s burden estimate remains the same.
