(ONC), Department of Health and
Human Services, to measure progress
toward goals for EHR adoption. The
mail survey will collect information on
characteristics of physician practices
and the capabilities of EHRs used in
those practices. Additional information
on physician experiences with EHRs
will continue to be collected through
the Physician Workflow Supplement
(PWS), which was added in 2011. The
PWS collects information on
experiences physicians are having with
EHRs in terms of benefits and barriers,
costs, attitudes, and impact of EHRs on
their clinical workflow.
In 2012, NAMCS plans on conducting
a pretest for assessing the feasibility of
developing nationally-representative
estimates of payments for care in
physician offices through the collection
of Current Procedural Terminology
(CPT) codes.
Users of NAMCS data include, but are
not limited to, Congressional offices,
Federal agencies, State and local
governments, schools of public health,
colleges and universities, private
industry, nonprofit foundations,
professional associations, clinicians,
researchers, administrators, and health
planners. NCHS is seeking OMB
approval to extend this survey for an
additional three years.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
59,998.

Reduction Act Review
There have been increasing calls in
the fields of public health generally and
cancer control specifically for the
dissemination, adoption, and
implementation of evidence-based
practices (EBPs). EBPs are public health
practices (interventions, programs,
strategies, policies, procedures,
processes, and/or activities) that have
been tested or evaluated and shown to
be effective. However, while the
development, review, and compilation
of EBPs has steadily increased over

The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under

requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

time, there is concern that the adoption
and implementation of those practices,
including among cancer control
planners and practitioners, has not kept
pace. Given the gap between the
development of EBPs and their use,
public health and cancer control
organizations need to place greater
emphasis on the promotion and
dissemination of these practices among
those who can use them to improve
population health. While efforts to
promote cancer control EBPs have
increased, questions remain whether
these efforts will result in widespread
adoption and implementation of EBPs
in the context of comprehensive cancer
control (CCC) in the states, Tribes, and
U.S. Associated Pacific Island
Jurisdictions and territories. National
Comprehensive Cancer Control Program
(NCCCP) grantees may face a number of
challenges to incorporating EBPs into
CCC efforts in their jurisdictions. In
order to address these barriers
effectively and better promote the use of
EBPs for cancer control, CDC would like
to understand (1) how evidence-based
E:\FR\FM\04NON1.SGM

68466
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 214 / Friday, November 4, 2011 / Notices
approaches are currently being used to
develop CCC plans; (2) how CCC
programs identify EBPs; (3) what EBPs
have been adopted by CCC programs;
and (4) what challenges and unintended
consequences have been encountered in
their implementation.
The purpose of the proposed project
is to examine CCC planners’ use of
scientific and practice-based
information to inform development of
CCC plans and to select evidence-based
interventions. CDC will sponsor two
surveys among 66 key CCC stakeholders
in the NCCCP-funded states, Tribes, and
U.S. Associated Pacific Island
Jurisdictions and territories. The first
will be a survey with the 66 Directors
of the NCCCP-funded programs. The
second will be a Web-based survey of
key program partners/collaborators
identified by the Program Directors (on
average, two partners per Director, or
132 partners) as instrumental to the
selection and implementation of cancer
control EBPs. The surveys will identify
technical assistance needs of the
programs related to selection and
implementation of EBPs and will
contribute to CDC’s efforts to build the
capacities of states, Tribes, and Pacific
Island Jurisdictions and territories
toward more effective efforts in cancer
prevention and control. In addition, the
results may lead to new insights and
questions that can be addressed in
future studies.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. OMB approval is
requested for one year. The total
estimated burden hours are 138.

regulations describe CMS’ regulatory
authority to require each Medicare
Advantage Organization (MAO)
coordinated care plan that offers one or
more MA plans to have an ongoing
quality assessment and performance
improvement program. This program
must include assessing performance
using standard measures required by the
Center for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), and reporting its
performance to CMS.
MAOs will submit their Chronic Care
Improvement Programs (CCIPs) and
Quality Improvement Project (QIPs)
using the revised CCIP and QIP
Reporting Tools that are included in this
collection. The tools have been
redesigned: (1) To decrease the response
burden through limiting the amount of
narrative required and using an
automated system; (2) to be more
aligned with the standard QI reporting
format; and (3) to improve the
information provided by MAOs by using
more structured reporting tools. CMS
believes the new reporting tools will
provide a simpler, easier way for MAOs
to report the required data. The new tool
will also generate consistency in
reporting among plans so that collected
data can be used more efficiently by
CMS and the plans.
Based on feedback received during
the 60-day comment period, CMS has
increased the burden hours to complete
each reporting tool from 5 hours to 15
hours Form Number: CMS–10209 (OMB
