Abstract: The NHVBP Demonstration is a CMS "pay-for-performance" initiative to improve the quality of care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries residing in nursing homes. Under this three-year demonstration project, CMS will assess the performance of nursing homes based on selected quality measures, and then make payments to those nursing homes that achieve a higher performance based on those measures. Quality will be assessed based on the following four domains: staffing, appropriate hospitalizations, outcome measures from the minimum data set (MDS), and survey deficiencies.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: When CMS submitted the original supporting statement for this data collection, we estimated that there would be 250 participants (submitting 4 responses annual, yielding 1,000 annual responses) and an annual burden of 17,220 hours. We also estimated that there would be 1,000 applicants for the demonstration, at a total burden of 31,950 hours. These estimates were based on a pre-demonstration survey of 9 nursing homes. We have revised the annual burden estimates for this supporting statement. These estimates are substantially lower than our original estimates, for two reasons. First, the actual number of demonstration participants is 178 (submitting 4 responses annually, yielding 712 annual responses). Second, 69 participants reported their actual burden. Based on this information, we estimated an annual burden of 5,530 hours (i.e., an average of 7.75 hours per response for 712 responses). In addition, the initial collection (i.e., the application) has ended. So the burden associated with the initial collection (1,000 responses at 31,950 hours) is no longer included in the current burden estimate.
