Abstract: Section 3005 of the Affordable Care Act authorizes the establishment of a quality reporting program for PPS-exempt cancer hospitals (PCHs). This is an update to the previously approved PCHQR Program PRA submission. Based on the FY2016 IPPS/LTCH rule we are removing the six Surgical Care Improvement Program (SCIP) measures and adding three CDC NHSN measures.
