In the FY 2016 IPPS Rule, we are
finalizing seven new measures for the Hospital IQR Program measure
set and removing nine measures from the Hospital IQR Program
measure set, beginning with FY 2018. We are also proposing to
require IPPS hospitals to report a minimum of 4 electronic clinical
quality 4 measures. Additionally, we are updating our burden
estimates due to the availability of more recent data. Using data
on chart-abstracted measures from the 3rd quarter in 2013 through
the 2nd quarter in 2014, we have revised our burden estimate
assumptions to include updates to the number of records reported
per measure set, as well as the time associated with data
collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
