To support its objective of accelerating the diffusion and adoption of innovative health care delivery changes, see, e.g., 42 U.S.C. 299b-5(a), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is launching the AHRQ Healthcare Innovations Exchange Web site (Innovations Exchange).
The Innovations Exchange will make profiles of health care service innovations accessible to the public. These innovations must meet the following six criteria:
- (1) The innovation focuses directly or indirectly on patient care;
- (2) the innovation is intended to improve one or more domains of health care quality;
- (3) the activity is truly innovative in the context of its setting or target population;
- (4) information about the innovation is publicly available;
- (5) the innovator (or a representative) is willing and able to contribute information to the Health Care Innovations Exchange; and
- (6) there is reason to believe that the innovation will be effective.
This notice announces the intention of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve the proposed information collection project:
``AHRQ Healthcare Innovations Exchange Innovator Interview and AHRQ Healthcare Innovations Exchange Innovator E-mail Submission Guidelines.''
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), AHRQ invites the public to comment on this proposed information collection.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by October 20, 2008.
