Abstract: Section 3005 of the Affordable Care Act authorizes the establishment of a quality reporting program for PPS-exempt cancer hospitals (PCHs). This is an update to the previously approved PCHQR Program PRA submission. We are proposing to remove one web-based, structural quality measure and are requesting a revision of the currently approved collection to reduce the estimated burden.

Short Statement: We are reducing a previously approved burden. We are proposing the removal of one (1) web-based structural measure from the PCHQR Program, which will reduce the information collection burden on the PCHs. The change in the burden associated with these finalized policies is a reduction of approximately 3 hours (.25 fewer hours per year per PCH for the proposed removal of the web-based structural measure x 11 PCHs) across all 11 PCHs annually.
