The American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February
17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's
infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of
health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health
record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of
America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act
amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by
establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals (EPs),
eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals, and Medicare
Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid
programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of
certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions,
together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be
cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act.”. Beginning in 2018, the
names of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs were
changed to the Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability
Programs. We are collecting information from participants in these
programs on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use
of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to
support health information exchange, interoperability, quality
measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and
efficiencies. Abstract (2000 characters maximum) The American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L.
111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to
modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health
care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and
certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve
the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of
Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the
Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to
eligible professionals, eligible hospitals and critical access
hospitals (CAHs), and Medicare Advantage organizations
participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and
successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology
(CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of
Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health
Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the
“HITECH Act”. In 2019, the EHR Incentives Program for eligible
hospitals and CAHs was subsequently renamed the Medicare Promoting
Interoperability Program. We are collecting information from
participants in this program on objectives and measures focused on
the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced
use of CEHRT to support health information exchange,
interoperability, advanced quality measurement, and maximizing
clinical effectiveness and efficiency. In the FY 2025 IPPS/LTCH PPS
proposed rule, we are proposing to separate the previously
finalized Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance (AUR)
Surveillance measure into two separate measures, beginning with the
EHR reporting period in CY 2025: (1) the Antimicrobial Use (AU)
Surveillance measure and (2) the Antimicrobial Resistance (AR)
Surveillance Measure. We are also proposing to increase the total
number of electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) eligible
hospitals and CAHs report from six to nine for the CY 2026
reporting period, and then from nine to eleven beginning with the
CY 2027 reporting period. We note that the information collection
burden associated with reporting of eCQMs by eligible hospitals and
CAHs is accounted for under OMB control number 0938-1022.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
We previously requested and
received approval for total annual burden estimates under this OMB
control number for the EHR reporting period in CY 2025 of 29,625
hours at a total cost of $1,328,978 as a result of policies
finalized in the FY 2024 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule. Accounting for
updated wage rates, the total cost of $1,328,978 increases to
$1,544,055. For the EHR reporting period in CY 2025, based on the
policy proposals in the FY 2025 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule and
addition of burden associated with previously finalized measures,
we estimate a total burden of 30,151 hours and $1,571,474 (an
increase of 526 hours and $27,419 from our currently approved
estimate). This burden estimate also represents an increase of 526
hours and $242,496 from the approved burden estimate of 29,625
hours and $1,328,978 for the EHR reporting period in CY 2024.
