Pursuant to section 1886(s)(4)(C) of
the Social Security Act as added and amended by sections 3401 and
10322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and
further amended by section 4125(c) of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2023, starting in FY 2014 (that is, October 1,
2013 through September 30, 2014) and for subsequent fiscal years,
IPFs paid under the IPF PPS shall submit pre-defined quality
measures to the CMS. Such data shall be submitted in a form and
manner, and at a time specified by the Secretary. Section
1886(s)(4)(A) of the Act provides that IPFs that fail to submit
data on the selected quality measures and comply with other
administrative requirements will have their IPF prospective payment
system (PPS) payment updates reduced by 2.0 percentage points. This
is a revision of the currently approved information collection
request. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS’)
quality reporting programs promote higher quality, more efficient
healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by collecting and reporting
on quality-of-care metrics. This information is made available to
consumers, both to empower Medicare beneficiaries and inform
decision-making, as well as to incentivize healthcare facilities to
make continued improvements. Specifically, CMS has implemented
quality measure reporting programs for multiple settings, including
for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) setting, to achieve
its overarching priorities and initiatives, including the National
Quality Strategy and the Meaningful Measure 2.0 Framework. In
particular, Meaningful Measures 2.0 promotes innovation and
modernization of all aspects of quality to better address health
care priorities and gaps, emphasize digital quality measurement,
and promote patient perspectives by supporting five interrelated
goals: (1) empower consumers to make good health care choices
through patient-directed quality measures and public transparency,
(2) leverage quality measures to promote health equity and close
gaps in care, (3) streamline quality measurement, (4) leverage
measures to drive outcome improvement through public reporting and
payment programs, and (5) improve quality measure efficiency by
transitioning to digital measures and using advanced data
analytics. The information collection requirements for the FY 2014
through FY 2028 program years (that is, data submitted from CY 2013
through CY 2027) are currently approved under OMB control number
0938-1171 (expiration date January 31, 2027). This request covers
updates to the data collection requirements beginning with the FY
2026 payment determination (that is data submitted in CY 2025) and
subsequent years.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
