    Information Collection Request Title: Regional Extension Center 
Cooperative Agreement Program (CRM Tool)
    OMB No.: 0955-0009
    Abstract: The Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application is 
a nimble business intelligence tool being used by more than 1,500 users 
at ONC partner organizations and grantees. The CRM collects data from a 
large number of users throughout the United States who are ``on the 
ground'' helping healthcare providers adopt and optimize their IT 
systems, it provides near real-time data about the adoption, 
utilization, and meaningful use of EHR technology. Approximately half 
of all Primary Care Providers in the nation are represented in the CRM 
tool; data points include provider location, credential, specialty, 
whether live on an EHR and what system, whether they've reached MU, the 
time between these, and narrative barriers experienced by many of 
these.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The CRM tool supplements 
and is regularly merged with other data sources both within and outside 
of HHS and tracks program performance and progress towards milestones. 
Combined with ONC's internal analytical capacity, this data provides 
feedback that goes beyond anecdotal evidence and can be turned into 
tangible lessons learned that are used to focus policy and program 
efforts and ultimately achieve concrete outcomes.
    Likely Respondents: Regional Extension Centers
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing
