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 âHealth Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Actâ or the âHITECH Act.â. 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 âHealth Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Actâ or the âHITECH Actâ. 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.

PL: Pub.L. 111 - 5 Title IV of Division B Name of Law: The 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 policies in the FY 2025 IPPS/LTCH PPS final 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).
