The approval of this data collection process is essential to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 and its applicability to the hospital market basket. This section of the MMA requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to, "... establish a frequency for revising such [market basket] weights including the labor share, in such market basket to reflect the most current data available more frequently than every five years."
This information is used by Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) to identify opportunities for improvement, and to effectively target quality improvement initiatives in order to meet the statutory requirements for QIOs. The information will be made available to hospitals for their use in internal quality improvement initiatives. The information is used by CMS to direct its contractors to focus on particular areas of improvement, and to develop quality improvement initiatives. Most importantly, this information is available to beneficiaries, as well as to the public in general, to provide hospital information to assist them in making decisions about their health care. CMS conducts focus groups or market testing prior to public reporting hospital quality data on the Hospital Compare website.
For FY 2008, we propose to add the HCAHPS Survey to the measure set. For FY 2009, the set of measures for the RHQDAPU program will consist of measures previously approved through the PRA process, as well as additional measures identified through this rulemaking. For FY 2009 the measurement set we propose to add the following additional measures: Pneumonia 30-day Mortality (Medicare patients); SCIP Infection 4: Cardiac Surgery Patients with Controlled 6AM Postoperative Serum Glucose; SCIP Infection 6: Surgery Patients with Appropriate Hair Removal.
