RSR Burden Estimate for 2019
Respondents
Part A
Sheena K Hale Response 5/9: No change in burden
Detroit Public Health Department
313 876 0328
Email: “We feel that the request aligns with what we are currently doing in the Detroit EMA to meet the eligible scope requirements. Additionally, based on the low level of program income our sub-recipients receive, we do not feel this will increase the reporting burden.”
Nick Roth Response 5/10: No change in burden
Denver City and County Mayor’s Office
720 275 5150
“We don’t generate program income.” Solely Part A funded. In the next 18-24 months they are transitioning to an integrated system with Part B partners. Part B Eduardo Gabrieloff Eduardo.gabrieloff@state.co.us has expressed interest in responding to the request for burden estimate.
Arvil Alicea Response 5/8: .5-1 FTE
New Haven City Health Department
203-946-7389
This Part A currently has 4 full time staff and an award of 5.7 million. They are still awaiting final award. If reduction in funding, they will be reducing staff even further (3.5 FTE). Anything additional (ie. reporting requirement changes) could break us. He sees a need to train up providers on the reporting requirement changes and a way to report on the RSR. Many providers already feel burdened by RSR reporting but they have made it work. “It’s a hell of a burden that would break us.” Guesstimates at least .5 FTE to full FTE required for this change. A whole different animal. Tracking payments is the challenge they foresee. Each provider would have to track a payment source through each financial tract to verify and report accurately. Complexity of staff to know what they’re asking for. “We are small and have been shrinking” – perhaps receiving another reduction. Burdens increase when funding decreases.
Jeremy K. Hyvarinen Response: Unable to estimate burden for providers due to variance in provider types. Estimates .5 FTE for recipient related implementation.
Maricopa County
602 506 6181
About half of providers won’t be impacted. “Could potentially be a lot of work” for the other half. Some data is not built into contract and would require contract revision. He will schedule time to discuss this with his boss and will provide a response by the end of the week.
Part B
State of Hawaii Department of Health
808 733 8396
They have determined that the impact on operations should be minimal. They currently collect the information on all clients anyway, so the greatest impact would have been on the reporting function. The operator of their electronic data collection system has said the impact will be minor.
Holly Hanson
Iowa Department of Public Health
515 242 5316
Still working on getting estimate. Will provide estimate at end of week.
Clarissa Hill
Maryland State Department of Health

The state of Maryland has preempted this request and has been collecting client level data for RWHAP services funded with rebates since calendar year 2017. However, they estimate that with this increased number of services it would require an additional 960 hours during the RSR submission cycle to ensure completeness of all data elements for the state and all sub-recipients.
Montana State Department of PHHS

No Response.
Part C
Aubri Hickman (quality director) Response 5/9: No change in burden
University of Mississippi Medical Center
601 815 1212
Ben Brock is the best poc. jbbrock@umc.edu.
Email: “This will be my first time to produce an RSR as I am new to the role, so I imagine any changes to the RSR will be no more difficult as I expect it will take me quite some time to put together my first one.”
Ashely Tarrant Response: 250 hrs per year (error – corrected to 27 minutes or .45 hours)
Montgomery AIDS Outreach Inc
334 386 0854
Email response: “I can provide a rough estimate. We serve over 1800 patients, with a large majority of these patients would receive the services described previously. The data needed for the RSR would have to be hand entered. The additional time added would be a minimum of 250 hours over the course of the year. (15 minutes per patient at 1,000 patients).“
Kathleen [Kate] Bennett Response 5/10: No change in burden
Cincinnati Health Network
513 961 0600

Their program pays for a portion of the staff’s salary at U of Cincinnati. They also have a small contract with North KY Health Dept, but this contract doesn’t generate program income. At the U of C subrecipient site, program income is generated and helps supplement staff salary. At U of C, every patient is touched by RW funding because the intake nurse is paid with RW funding. Consequently, they are already reporting every client’s data.
