Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Consortia Development for Health Professions
Training in Community-Based Settings--New--Consortia which include
academic institutions and community-based providers have been proposed
as one mechanism for improving collaboration between health professions
schools and communities, enabling them to provide relevant educational
experiences and facilitating meeting education and workforce goals. The
consortia should be based on a formal association of academic health
professions training schools or programs and community-based providers
(e.g., community/migrant health centers, managed care organizations)
involved, at least, in part, in the entry-level education and/or
continuing education of health professionals. The purposes of this
project are (1) to prepare an inventory of consortia for health
professions education, (2) to examine the characteristics of successful
consortia, and (3) to examine the role that consortia play in assisting
health professions schools or programs to prepare health care providers
for the evolving health care system.
An initial survey will be conducted by mail of consortia identified
through informal conversations with key academic representatives,
community-based providers, and other knowledgeable individuals, and a
literature review. The initial survey will be used to gather
information needed to determine whether the consortia meet the study
definition, and, for those that do, to collect additional information
that generally describes the consortia, including their goals and
accomplishments. From the information gathered in the initial survey,
20 consortia will be selected for additional study as models of
successful consortia, based on criteria established by an advisory
workgroup.
The second survey will consist of phone interviews with up to 20 of
the consortia identified as successful models from the initial survey.
These data will describe the characteristics of successful consortia in
more detail (leadership, organizational models, missions and goals,
financing arrangements, facilitating factors, and barriers). Data will
also be collected to determine the role that consortia play in
assisting health professional schools to prepare health care providers
for the evolving health care system. The burden estimates are as
follows:
