Information Collection Request Title:
Rural Health Opioid Program Grant Performance Measures
OMB No. 0906-xxxx—NEW
Abstract:
The Rural Health Opioid Program aims to promote rural health care services outreach by expanding the delivery of opioid related health care services to rural communities. The program will work to reduce the morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdoses in rural communities through the development of broad community consortiums to prepare individuals with opioid-use disorder to start treatment, implement care coordination practices to organize patient care activities, and support individuals in recovery through the enhancement of behavioral counselling and peer support activities.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information:
For this program, performance measures were drafted to provide data to the program and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), including: (a) Target population demographics; (b) referrals to substance abuse treatment; (c) substance abuse treatment process and outcomes; (d) education of health care providers and community members; and (e) rates of fatal and non-fatal opioid-related overdose. All measures will speak to FORHP's progress toward meeting the goals set.
Likely Respondents:
The respondents would be recipients of the Rural Health Opioid Program grant funding.
Burden Statement:
Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested.
