Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information

Project: Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration Program (OMB
No. 0930-0340)--Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services, (CMHS) is requesting a
revision from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data
collection activities associated with their Primary and Behavioral
Health Care Integration (PBHCI) Program. Specifically, SAMHSA is
requesting approval to only collect information on grantee quarterly
reports.
The purpose of the PBHCI grant program is to improve the overall
wellness and physical health status of people with serious mental
illnesses (SMI), including individuals with co-occurring substance use
disorders, by supporting communities to coordinate and integrate
primary care services into publicly-funded community mental health and
other community-based behavioral health settings. The program's goal is
to improve the physical health status of adults with serious mental
illnesses (and those with co-occurring substance use disorders) who
have or are at risk for co-occurring primary care conditions and
chronic diseases. The program's objective is to support the triple aim
of improving the health of those with SMI; enhancing the client's
experience of care (including quality, access, and reliability); and
reducing/controlling the per capita cost of care.
New questions added to the quarterly report will include
information on the selected evidence based practices (EBPs) for
nutrition and tobacco cessation (including the number of participants
and their outcomes), identifying the selected blood pressure treatment
protocol (one of four recommended by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention), and updating the chart on the identified sub-
population(s) on physical health indicators in the disparities impact
statement section of the quarterly report.
This information collection is needed to provide SAMHSA with
sufficient information to monitor grantee performance and to assess
whether integrated primary care services produce improvements in the
physical health of the SMI population receiving services from
community-based behavioral health agencies.
Collection of the information included in this request is
authorized by Section 505 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa-4)--Data Collection. Authorization for the PBHCI program is
provided under Section 5604 of H.R. 3590, the Affordable Care Act
(ACA), which authorizes SAMHSA to provide awards for the co-location of
primary and specialty care in community-based mental health settings.
