Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 107 / Friday, June 5, 2009 / Notices
Information Collection: Evaluation of
the Medicare Care Management
Performance Demonstration (MCMP)
and the Electronic Health Records
Demonstration (EHRD); Use: The MCMP
demonstration was authorized under
Section 649 of the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act of 2003. This is a
three year pay for performance
demonstration with physicians to
promote the adoption and use of health
information technology (HIT) to
improve the quality of care for eligible
chronically ill Medicare beneficiaries.
MCMP targets small to medium sized
primary care practices with up to 10
physicians. Practices must provide care
to at least 50 Medicare beneficiaries.
Physicians will receive payments for
meeting or exceeding performance
standards for quality of care. They will
also receive an additional incentive
payment for electronic submission of
performance measures via their
electronic health record (EHR) system.
These payments are in addition to their
normal payments for providing service
to Medicare beneficiaries. The Office
System Survey (OSS) will be used to
assess progress of physician practices in
implementation and use of EHRs and
related HIT functionalities.
The EHR demonstration is authorized
under Section 402 of the Medicare
Waiver Authority. The goal of this five
year pay for performance demonstration
is to foster the implementation and
adoption of EHRs and HIT in order to
improve the quality of care provided by
physician practices. The EHRD expands
upon the MCMP Demonstration and
will test whether performance-based
financial incentives (1) increase
physician practices’ adoption and use of
electronic health records (EHRs), and (2)
improve the quality of care that
practices deliver to chronically ill
patients. The EHRD targets small to
medium sized primary care practices
with up to 20 physicians. Practices must
provide care to at least 50 Medicare
beneficiaries. Approximately 800
practices will be enrolled in the
demonstration across four sites.
Practices will be randomly assigned to
a treatment and a control group. The
OSS will be used to assess progress of
physician practices in implementation
and use of EHRs and related HIT
functionalities, and to determine
incentive payments for treatment
practices. In-person and telephone
discussions with community partners
and physician practices will be used to
learn about practices’ experiences and
strategies in adopting and using EHRs,
as well as the factors that help or hinder
their efforts. Refer to the supporting
document ‘‘High-Level Summary of
Changes’’ for a list of changes. Form

Title: Supporting Healthy Marriage
(SHM) Demonstration and Evaluation
Project—Wave 2 Survey
OMB No.: 0970–0339.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services, is conducting a demonstration
and evaluation called the Supporting
Healthy Marriage (SHM) Project. SHM is
a test of marriage education
demonstration programs in eight sites
that will enroll about 800 couples per
site, with half assigned to participate in
the SHM program and the other half
assigned to the control group.
SHM is designed to inform program
operators and policymakers of the
effectiveness of programs designed to
help low-income married couples
strengthen and maintain healthy
marriages and improve outcomes for
adults and children.
This notice of information collection
is for two activities. One is a second
adult survey and new instruments to
obtain information from children and
youth about 30 months after study
entry. The other is for an extension of
the period of approval for the first
survey and observation instruments
used to obtain information from
research participants about 12 months
after study entry.
The proposed second wave of
information collection will involve:
• An adult survey instrument to
assess study participants’ longer term
marital status and stability, quality of
relationships, and a range of other
measures.
• A survey of focal children of study
participants in both the program and
control groups who are over 8 years of
age (the youth survey).
• A direct child assessment of focal
children of study participants in both
the program and control groups who are
8 years of age or younger.
Respondents: Low-income married
couples and their children in the SHM
evaluation research sample.
