Proposed Project: Voluntary Partner Surveys in the Health Resources and Services Administration—(OMB No. 0915-0212): Extension
In response to Executive Order 12862, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) conducts voluntary customer surveys of its partners to assess strengths and weaknesses in program services. To continue the periodic customer or partner satisfaction survey activities, HRSA is requesting an extension of approval from OMB. HRSA partners are, typically, State or local governments, health care facilities, health care consortia, and health care providers. Partner surveys to be conducted by HRSA might include, for example, brief surveys of grantees to determine satisfaction with a technical assistance contractor, or, in-class evaluation forms completed by providers who receive training from HRSA grantees, to measure satisfaction with the training experience. Results of these surveys will be used to plan and direct program efforts as needed to improve service. Focus groups may also be used as a potential method to obtain input on services and training. Focus groups, in-class evaluation forms, and satisfaction surveys provide valuable input from HRSA partners and customers on agency services and materials. The estimated annual burden is as follows:
