Proposed Project

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

The Patient-Centered Medical Home
(PCMH) Items Demonstration Study
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, RAND,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
health care and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of health care
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
The patient-centered medical home
(PCMH) is a model for delivering
primary care that is patient-centered,
comprehensive, coordinated, accessible,
and continuously improved through a
systems-based approach to quality and
safety.
As primary care practices across the
United States seek National Committee
for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
recognition as patient-centered medical
homes (PCMH), they can choose to
administer the Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS®) Clinician and Group (CG–
CAHPS) survey with or without the
PCMH supplemental item set (AHRQ,
2010; Hays et al., 2014; Ng et al., 2016;
Scholle et al., 2012). NCQA offers a
special patient experience distinction to
practices that opt to use the PCMH
CAHPS items set in their CG–CAHPS
survey tool. While over 11,000
practices, representing an estimated 15–
18% of primary care physicians, are
currently recognized for PCMH by
NCQA (NCQA, 2015), fewer than 3% of
them submit patient experience surveys
to NCQA when applying for recognition
under NCQA’s PCMH recognition
program.
Despite the rapid movement toward
PCMH primary care transformation and
the increasing use of PCMH CAHPS
items, little is known about the ways in
which practices are using these CAHPS
data and the PCMH supplemental item
information (about access,
comprehensiveness, self-management,
shared decision making, coordination of
care, and information about care and
appointments) to understand and
improve their patients’ experiences
during PCMH transformation. The
PCMH Items Demonstration Study will
investigate:
• How practices across the U.S. use
CAHPS and the PCMH item set during
PCMH transformation,
• How practices assemble and select
items for inclusion in their patient

Jkt 238001

experience surveys (e.g. core, PCMH,
supplemental, and custom items),
• Primary care practice leaders’
perspectives on NCQA PCMH
Recognition and CAHPS Patient
Experience Distinction,
• Effects of changes made during
PCMH transformation on patient
experiences reported on CAHPS surveys
and any PCMH items, and
• Associations between PCMH
transformation and patient experience
scores.
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collections will be
implemented:
(1) Office Manager Questions
administered via phone about the
participating practice’s characteristics to
describe the type of practices in the
study and to understand how practice
characteristics influence PCMH
transformation and patient experience.
(2) Physician Interviews administered
via phone with the lead PCMH clinical
expert about the details, decisions and
processes of PCMH transformation,
NCQA PCMH Recognition and CAHPS
Patient Experience Distinction and their
use of patient experience data during
the transformation process.
(3) PCMH–A Assessment Tool to be
completed by the lead PCMH clinical
expert (before or after the interview on
the standardized form via fax or email)
to collect validated metrics on the
‘‘PCMH-ness’’ of the practice.
(4) CAHPS Patient Experience Data
Files, which are patient-level, deidentified CAHPS patient experience
data covering the period of PCMH
transformation for the participating
practice. These data are collected
independently of this study by the
practice (or network) via its current
vendor. We will work with the PCMH
clinical expert, or a designated person
who handles data, in each of the
participating practices to submit these
CAHPS data files securely to RAND to
understand CAHPS patient experience
trends and associations with PCMH
implementation during the practice’s
PCMH journey.
Characterizing the use of CAHPS and
PCMH items by primary care practices
will provide important insight into the
activities practices conduct during
PCMH transformation to improve
patient experience scores. This
information may be useful in supporting
practices that lag behind their peers,
learning from practices with
outstanding records of patient
experience, and providing
recommendations that may be used to
refine the content of the CAHPS survey
items.

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Table 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden and cost for the
respondents’ time to participate in this
data collection. These burden estimates
are based on tests of data collection
conducted on nine or fewer entities. As
indicated below, the annual total
burden hours are estimated to be 179
hours. The annual total cost associated
with the annual total burden hours is
estimated to be $16,899.
The PCMH Items Demonstration
Study will recruit 150 practices
including the participating practices’
office managers and one physician/lead
PCMH clinical expert. We will recruit
and administer the Office Manager
Questions by phone to 150 office
managers, recruit all sampled
physicians by sending them a
recruitment packet that includes a cover
letter, an AHRQ endorsement letter and
an information sheet, and then
administer the Physician Interview
protocol questions by phone to 150
physicians, and 150 physicians will
self-administer the PCMH–A
Assessment Tool.
We have calculated our burden
estimate for Office Manager Questions
asked during physician recruitment
using an estimate of 3–5 questions a
minute as the Office Manager Questions
are closed-ended survey questions. The
Office Manager Questions contains 17
questions and is estimated to require an
average of 5 minutes; this estimate is
supported by the information gathered
during a pilot of these questions. For the
Physician Interview, we have calculated
the burden estimate to require an
average of 40 minutes per interview. For
the PCMH–A Assessment Tool, we
calculated our burden using a
conservative estimate of 4.5 items per
minute. Prior work suggests that 3–5
items on an assessment tool can
typically be completed per minute,
depending on item complexity and
respondent characteristics (Berry, 2009;
Hays & Reeve, 2010). The PCMH–A
Assessment tool contains 36 items and
is estimated to require an average
completion time of 8–10 minutes.
Participating practices will be asked
to submit any available CAHPS Patient
Experience data files (e.g. submission of
de-identified data including a data
dictionary via encrypted transfer) for the
period of time covering their NCQA
PCMH Recognition history. Each
practice will have an average estimate of
3 CAHPS Patient Experience data files
to submit per one submission, which we
based on the average number of years of
PCMH history of the sample. In
addition, we conservatively estimate

E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM

03AUN1

51201

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 3, 2016 / Notices
that half of the control practices (25/50)
administer CG–CAHPS data, as this
percentage is unknown; while 90% of

the participating current and past
CAHPS practices (90/100) will submit
CAHPS data, yielding 115 submissions

of CAHPS patient experience data files.
As indicated below, the annual total
burden is estimated to be 179 hours.
