The purpose of this submission is to
request an Information Collection Request (ICR) generic clearance
for a program of consumer research aimed at a broad audience of
those affected by CMS programs including Medicare, Medicaid,
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and health insurance
marketplace (a.k.a. "exchanges"). This program extends strategic
efforts to reach and tailor communications to beneficiaries,
caregivers, providers, stakeholders, and any other audiences that
would support the Agency in improving the functioning of the health
care system, improve patient care and outcomes, and reduce costs
without sacrificing quality of care. With the clearance, CMS will
create a proactive process for rapid collection of data to inform
development of communications as well as providing rapid feedback
on service delivery for continuous improvement of programs and
communications aimed at diverse CMS target audiences.
