PPS-Exempt Cancer Hospital Quality Reporting (PCHQR) Program

Web-Based Application for Clinical Care Measures

Online Data Entry Tool Content for FY 2017 and Subsequent Years

Overview

This document provides instructions for using the CMS online web application for reporting Population and Sampling data for the five Oncology Care Measures.

The Population and Sampling application enables a PPS-Exempt Cancer Hospital user or their contracted vendor to enter the population data of Medicare and non-Medicare patients that meet the inclusion criteria for the Oncology Care Measure set. The user or their contracted vendor can also indicate if they are submitting all of the records that meet the inclusion criteria, or if sending a sample, they can identify the frequency of sampling and the number of records that will be included in the sample.

Accessing the Web-Based Application

The user enters their assigned User ID and password to access the secure site and information for their individual hospital.

*Final web design is subject to change as it is dependent on web real estate and IT capacity. Changes will not impact the data elements but rather the application layout.*
