Abstract: In the FY 2019 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule we are proposing to remove the measure, Percent of Residents or Patients Who Were Assessed and Appropriately Given the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine (Short Stay) (NQF #0680), beginning with the FY 2021 LTCH QRP. LTCHs will no longer be required to submit data on this measure beginning with October 1, 2018 patient admissions and discharges. We plan to remove the data elements from the LTCH CARE Data Set as soon as feasible. Beginning with October 1, 2018 admissions and discharges, LTCHs should enter a dash (–) for O0250A, O0250B, and O0250C until the next LTCH CARE Data Set is released.

The number of Medicare-certified LTCHs has declined from 426 to 420 and discharges declined from 146,592 to 136,476. As a result, the total annual burden hours decreased from 135,128 to 121,674. We have decreased our time estimate from 24.3 to 23.4 minutes for completing the admission assessment and decreased our time estimate from 21.0 to 20.1 minutes for completing the discharge assessment. Overall, the combined time estimate decreased from 45.3 minutes to 43.5 minutes for the revised LTCH CARE Data Set.
