In order to help carry out its mission, HRSA created a set of performance measures that grantees use to evaluate the effectiveness of their service programs and monitor their progress through the use of performance reporting data. Grantees report to HRSA on their grants to accomplish the following goals: increase access to needed data and services; improve quality, efficiency and effectiveness of network services; and enhance ability to track and monitor patient outcomes. Grantees submit their Progress Reports in a mid-year report and an accumulative annual progress report each fiscal year of the grant. These grants are on three year project periods. For HRSA grantees, there is no increase in burden. The hours per response has not changed. The number of grantees increased from 40 to 109. The annual estimate of burden is as follows: Application Number of respondents Responses per respondent Total responses Hours per response Total burden hours Planning 5 2 10 10 100 Electronic Health Records Implementation 54 2 108 18 1,944 Innovations Category 1 0 2 0 0 0 Innovations Category 2 29 2 58 18 1,044 High Impact 21 2 42 18 7,208 Total 109 - 80 - 3,808 E-mail comments to *paperwork@hrsa.gov* or mail the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer, Room 10-33, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857.
