The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) invites comments on a proposed new Information
Collection Request (ICR) to conduct the International Survey of
People Living with Chronic Conditions (hereafter referred to as the
PaRIS Survey). This survey has been developed by a collaborative
workgroup under the auspices of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD), an international organization
that works with governments, policy makers, and citizens to shape
policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity, and
well-being for all. The OECD launched the PaRIS initiative in 2017
to address gaps in health outcomes measures, particularly regarding
user experiences with health care services. OECD member countries,
including the U.S., are working together to develop, standardize,
and implement indicators that measure outcomes and experiences of
health care that matter most to people. The PaRIS Survey will
provide a common set of measures that support policy makers across
participating countries to improve health care delivery. On behalf
of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), the Office of
Enterprise Data and Analytics (OEDA) in CMS has been designated as
the lead participant for the U.S. The PaRIS Survey will help to
close critical policy gaps by focusing on: (1) Patient Reported
Experience Measures (PREMS) which measure how patients experience
health care, and (2) Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS)
which measure how patients assess the results of the care they
receive. The PaRIS survey includes both PREMS and PROMS items and
aims to collect vital information about primary health care, by
asking about topics such as the respondent’s health, health
behaviors, patient activation and confidence in managing their
health care, experiences with health care and health providers
including access to health care, quality of life, physical
functioning, and psychological well-being.
This collection estimates that
7,348 Medicare beneficiaries will be administered a 3-minute (0.05
hr.) screener. From this group, CMS expects 5,144 to have seen a
medical provider in the last six months and therefore, to be
administered the 40-minute (0.67 hr.) PaRIS survey. Total Annual
Hourly burden is calculated at 3,814 hours for this PaRIS
Survey,
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
