Abstract: The goal of the EHR demonstration is to foster the implementation and adoption of EHRs and health information technology (HIT) more broadly as effective vehicles to improve the quality of care provided and transform the way medicine is practiced and delivered. As part of the implementation of this demonstration, several key functions were automated. A new electronic EHR demonstration "Practice Application and Profile" system (EHRDS) was developed to help manage practice and provider data for this system. OMB approval for this system was covered under OMB Control Number 0938-0965 granted October 18, 2010. The second module of EHRDS to be developed is for the collection of ambulatory clinical quality measures. Starting in the fall of 2011, the 400 treatment group practices will be required to report 26 clinical quality measures on an annual basis for years two through five of the demonstration. The original method for collecting quality measure data in the Physician Group Practice (PGP), Medicare Care Management Performance (MCMP) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) Demonstrations was approved under OMB Control Number 0938-0941(expiration date: January 31, 2012). This is the "Performance Assessment Tool" (PAT). The second EHRDs module was developed to replace the original PAT with a web enabled, secure (3-zone architecture) methodology for collecting the same exact data. This current request for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act is for this web-enabled version of PAT and extension of the expiration date to cover the next three years of data collection under the EHR Demonstration. The EHR Demonstration system (EHRDS) PAT module does not reflect a request for new or additional data beyond what has been previously approved. There should be no increase in burden for respondents. In fact, because all of the practices participating in the EHR Demonstration and submitting data will have EHRs, it is likely that the originally estimated burden will decrease.
