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. We are proposing to add one (1) new quality measure into, and remove six (6) existing quality measures from the PCHQR Program in the FY 2019 IPPS/LTCH PPS Proposed Rule.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We are reducing a previously approved burden. We are removing four (4) web-based structural measures from the PCHQR Program, which will reduce the information collection burden on the PCHs. We are also accounting for the additional removal of the administrative burden imparted by the inclusion of the additional NHSN measures (CAUTI, CLABSI, SSI, CDI, MRSA, and HCP) under OMB control number 0938-1175. The change in the burden associated with these finalized policies is a reduction of approximately 83,105 hours ([1 fewer hour per year per PCH for the removal of the web-based structural measures + 7,554 fewer hours per year per PCH for the removal of NHSN measure administrative burden] x 11 PCHs) across all 11 PCHs annually, and approximately $3,039,981 (83,105 hours per PCH x $36.58 wage) annually across all 11 PCHs.
