The CMS 10455 Report of a Hospital Death in Restraint or Seclusion form is utilized for the purpose of determining cases that warrant on-site investigation to determine the hospitalâs compliance with the Medicare Condition of Participation (CoP) for patientâs rights. Based on information gathered from CMS Regional Offices (ROs), the current collection tool associated with this package did not provide the needed information to thoroughly evaluate whether the case warrants an on-site investigation. The ROs provided feedback for data needed on the CMS 10455 form to evaluate whether the case warrants an on-site investigation. The collection tool was revised based on the ROs need for additional information to assess for compliance with CoPs as well as the health and safety of patients requiring the use of restraint and/or seclusion.
As the above table shows, the number of responses has decreased by 7,789. The total number of annual burden hours has decreased by 6,096 hours and the total annual cost burden has increased by $62,160. These changes can be explained by several factors.
The decrease in the number of responses and burden hours can be attributed to the fact that the number of responses and cost burden in the previous PRA package was higher than usual due to the addition of a one-time burden that was added for training hospital and CAH staff in the use of the electronic format CMS-10455 that was released with the previous PRA package. As this was a one-time burden, we have not included this burden in this PRA package. Thus, the number of responses and time burden have decreased in the current PRA package.
