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.
