8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.

The mission of HRSA is to improve and expand access to quality health care for all. HRSA assures the availability of quality health care to low income, uninsured, isolated, vulnerable and special needs populations. In meeting its mission, HRSA relies on the Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) to assist with improving the performance of HRSA funded programs, sharing data and conducting business in a more efficient manner. The EHBs currently serves more than 20,000 users in managing HRSA grants and projects. EHBs supports HRSA with program administration, grants administration and monitoring, management reporting, and performance measurement and analysis. The investment serves HRSA's goal to integrate existing grant support systems into one transparent enterprise-wide system. In conjunction with GRANTS.GOV, this system as a result has streamlined the application and administration process and has enabled applicants, grantee organizations and HRSA to communicate and conduct activities electronically. It allows HRSA to operate in a paperless fashion, with improved business efficiency, and in compliance with mandated Agency-wide and Federal policies, procedures and legislation. The investment consists of a core system (the Electronic Handbooks platform), as well as four internal performance reporting systems. The core system provides all potential grantees a means to access competitive funding opportunities published as a part of the annual HRSA Preview and to submit applications electronically. HRSA uses HHS ACF's Center of Excellence (COE) for grant award processing. The performance reporting systems are used for completing post-award reporting requirements and aid with conducting in-depth analysis of program grant allocation, use and effectiveness. The EHBs have allowed for a standardization of many of HRSA's business processes as a result of the consolidation. The following bureaus/offices have their performance systems integrated with the core EHBs system: Bureau of Health Professions, HIV/AIDS Bureau, Maternal and Child Health Bureau and Bureau of Primary Health Care. Future plans for the EHBs investment include: (1) Developing performance reporting systems for Office of Rural Health Policy, the Office of Health Information Technology and the Healthcare Systems Bureau and (2) Adding additional functionality to the core system, to include the Program Management and Final Review modules.

Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?

yes

2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?

no

2.b. If no, please explain why?

This investment needs to be identified in the HHS transition strategy.

3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?

no

4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:

Not applicable

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:

A risk assessment of the EHBs investment was conducted to quantify risks and adequately account for risk in the life cycle cost. The risks analyzed derive from the EHBs risk management plan and ongoing risk management discussions. Once identified, risks are quantified by assigning probability and cost impact. Mitigation strategies are developed for the risks. During this effort, the costs necessary for the implementation of the mitigation strategy are also captured. These costs will be added to the project budget as contingency funds. The last step for risk assessment is to adjust cost elements directly. In order to define an appropriate level of impact on costs, each risk is considered with the effects of mitigation. Mitigated risks will have lower probabilities and impacts, but often enough, risk cannot be entirely eradicated. This residual risk, in the form of a multiplier, is applied to those individual cost elements that may be affected by such risk. For example, the probability of a schedule risk occurring is multiplied by the impact of the risk on schedule and those schedule-dependent cost elements. Risk adjusted costs are then inflated to present realistic life cycle cost estimates.
