We are requesting approval for
revisions to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient
Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI. The burden associated with this
requirement is the staff time required to complete, encode, and
transmit the data from the Inpatient Rehabilitation
Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI). The burden
associated with transmitting the IRF-PAI is not being included in
this revision, since the requirement for IRFs to transmit the data
is unaffected by the proposed revision to the assessment
instrument. We are proposing to replace the current pressure ulcer
assessment data items in the Quality Indicator section of the
IRF-PAI with a new set of pressure ulcer data items. The proposed
new pressure ulcer data elements are more comprehensive than in use
on the current version of the IRF-PAI. The proposed new pressure
ulcer items are similar to those collected through the Minimum Data
Set 3.0 (MDS 3.0), which is a reporting instrument that is used in
nursing homes. The current MDS 3.0 pressure ulcer items evolved as
an outgrowth of CMS' work to develop a standardized patient
assessment instrument, now referred to as the CARE (Continuity
Assessment Records & Evaluation). We further propose to add a
new measure known as the "Percent of Patients/Residents Who Were
Assessed and Appropriately Given the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine"
(NQF #0680) to the IRF quality reporting program beginning on
October 1, 2014. We propose to collect the data for this measure
using a set of data elements that is very similar to those
collected through the Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS 3.0). We have made
several updates to the "Identification Information", "Admission
Information" and the Medical Information" sections of the IRF-PAI.
The number of items deleted exceeds the number of new questions
added. Therefore, there has been no net increase in burden caused
by these changes.
