This information collection package is
a request for an revision of the currently approved information
collection requirements under CMS-R-48 (0938-0328). We have updated
the burden estimates associated with the current hospital
conditions of participation (CoPs) in this package. This document
represents the inclusion of all current and final hospital CoPs
currently effective. The information collection requirements
described herein are needed to implement the Medicare and Medicaid
CoPs for 4,890 accredited and non-accredited hospitals and an
additional 101 critical access hospitals (CAHs) that have distinct
part psychiatric or rehabilitation units (DPUs). CAHs that have
DPUs must comply with all of the hospital CoPs. Thus, this package
reflects the paperwork burden for a total of 4,991 (i.e., 4,890
hospitals and 101 CAHs which include 81 CAHs that have psychiatric
DPUs and 20 CAHs that have rehabilitation DPUs). The information
collection requirements for the remaining 1,183 CAHs have been
reported in a separate package under CMS-10239.

This information collection
package serves to update the burden estimates associated with the
current hospital conditions of participation (CoPs) in this
package. The information collection requirements described herein
are needed to implement the Medicare and Medicaid conditions of
participation (CoPs) for 4,890 accredited and non-accredited
hospitals plus 101 CAHs that have DPUs. Currently, the CAH burden
is included in the hospital burden submission. We have determined
that the current CAH burden is overestimated in the hospital PRA
package because all the burden and costs were assigned equally to
both CAHs and hospitals. Because CAHs are limited to 25 beds,
provide limited services, and require less personnel, the CAH CoPs
are less stringent than those for hospitals. Therefore, this
submission will result in less associated burden and costs for
CAHs. Additionally, there are fewer accredited and non-accredited
hospitals since the last submission of this package.
