(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
Type of Information Collection
Request: New Collection; Title of
Information Collection: National
Implementation of the Hospital
Consumer Assessment of Health
Providers and Systems Survey
(HCAHPS); Form No.: CMS–10102
(OMB# 0938-NEW); Use: The intent of
the HCAHPS initiative is to provide a
standardized survey instrument and
data collection methodology for
measuring patients’ perspectives on
hospital care. While many hospitals
collect information on patient
satisfaction, there is no national
standard for collecting or publicly
reporting this information that would
enable valid comparisons to be made
across all hospitals. In order to make
‘‘apples to apples’’ comparisons to
support consumer choice, it is necessary
to introduce a standard measurement
approach. HCAHPS can be viewed as a
core set of questions that hospitals can
combine with their customized items.
Participation in HCAHPS is voluntary.
Hospitals will begin using HCAHPS,
also known as Hospital CAHPS or the
CAHPS Hospital Survey, under the
auspices of the Hospital Quality
Alliance, a private/public partnership
that includes hospital associations,
consumer groups, payors and
government agencies that share a
common interest in reporting on
hospital quality; Frequency: Monthly;
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Number of Respondents:
2,852,000; Total Annual Responses:
2,852,000; Total Annual Hours: 285,200.

these paperwork collections referenced
above, access CMS Web site address at
