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. In the FY 2024 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we are proposing to adopt four new measures into the PCHQR Program measure set that would impact information collection: (1) the Documentation of Goals of Care Discussions Among Cancer Patients measure beginning with the FY 2026 program year, (2) the Facility Commitment to Health Equity measure beginning with the FY 2026 program year; (3) the Screening for Social Drivers of Health measure with voluntary reporting for the FY 2026 program year and mandatory reporting beginning with the FY 2027 program year; and (4) the Screen Positive Rate for Social Drivers of Health measure with voluntary reporting in the FY 2026 program year and mandatory reporting beginning with the FY 2027 program year.
