Submission for OMB Review; Comment request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Defense has submitted to OMB for clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
DATES:
Consideration will be given to all comments received by May 31, 2012.
Title and OMB Number: Electronic Health Record (EHR) Usability Survey; OMB Control Number 0720-TBD.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 942.
Responses per Respondent: 4.
Annual Responses: 3768.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 628 hours.
Needs and Uses: The intended use of the information collection is to develop a longitudinal measure of how end-users perceive the usability of the Department of Defense (DoD) suite of Electronic Health Record (EHR) applications.
Until recently, understanding the performance of EHR systems focused on functionality and user satisfaction. Now the focus has shifted towards understanding the usability of a system. This usability attribute describes the ease with which people can use the system to achieve a goal, and consists of three measurable components: Efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction.
As the Military Health Systems (MHS) moves towards developing the next generation of EHR applications, it is important to obtain baseline usability data of our current suite of applications and be able to monitor changes over time as the new EHR is deployed. Over the next five years, the DoD will make a significant investment to deliver a new EHR solution and it will be important to accurately assess the benefits realized as a result of this investment.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Federal government.
Frequency: Quarterly.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
