Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY: Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) is publishing the
following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
VerDate Nov<24>2008

necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(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.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Electronic
Health Records (EHR) Demonstration
Web Enabled Application for Phase II;
Use: The goal of the Electronic Health
Record (EHR) demonstration is to foster
the implementation and adoption of
EHRs and Health Information
Technology (HIT) more broadly as
effective vehicles improve the quality of
care provided and transform the way
medicine is practiced and delivered.
Adoption of HIT has the potential to
provide significant savings to the
Medicare program and improve the
quality of care rendered to Medicare
beneficiaries. This demonstration is
designed to leverage the combined
forces of private and public payers to
drive physician practices to widespread
adoption and use of EHRs. The
demonstration is being implemented in
two phases. Over 800 applications were
received, via a manual (paper) process,
from interested practices in the four
Phase I sites. Because of the greater
number of sites and projected applicants
for Phase II, CMS has Web enabled the
application. This is expected to make it
easier for practices to complete the
application accurately and completely,
submit it in a timely manner, and allow
CMS to process the applications more
efficiently and effectively. Form
Number: CMS–10165(OMB#: 0938–
0936–0965); Frequency: Reporting—
Once; Affected Public: Business or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 1,600; Total
Annual Responses: 1,600; Total Annual
Hours: 347. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Jody
Blatt at 410–786–6921. For all other
issues call 410–786–1326.)
