Thus, total estimated burden under
the above-noted regulatory sections is
10,607 hours and $453,297 in associated
labor costs. Commission staff believes
that the Information Furnishers Rule
and subpart E of Regulation V impose
negligible capital or other non-labor
costs, as the affected entities are already
likely to have the necessary supplies
and/or equipment (e.g., offices and
computers) for the associated
information collection provisions.

health care in Medicaid and CHIP. In
February 2010, the Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services (CMS) announced
the award of 10 demonstration grants to
States that convincingly articulated an
achievable vision of what they could
accomplish by the end of the five-year
grant period, described strategies they
would use to achieve the objectives, and
explained how the strategies would
achieve the objectives. Applicants were
encouraged by CMS to address multiple
grant categories (described below) and
to partner with other States in designing
and implementing their projects.
Of the 10 grantee States selected, six
are partnering with other States, for a
total of 18 demonstration States. The
demonstration States are: Colorado
(partnering with New Mexico); Florida
(with Illinois); Maine (with Vermont);
Maryland (with Wyoming and Georgia);
Massachusetts; North Carolina; Oregon
(with Alaska and West Virginia);
Pennsylvania; South Carolina; and Utah
(with Idaho).
These demonstration States are
implementing 51 distinct projects in at
least one of five possible grant
categories, A to E. Category A grantees
are experimenting with and/or
evaluating the use of pediatric quality
measures, including those in the initial
core set of children’s health care quality
measures (a group of measures
developed for state Medicaid and CHIP
agencies to report in a standardized
fashion to CMS). Category B grantees are
promoting health information
technologies for improved care delivery
and patient outcomes. Category C
grantees are implementing personcentered medical homes or other
provider-based levels of service
delivery. Category D grantees will
evaluate the impact of a model pediatric
electronic health record. Category E
grantees are testing other State-designed
approaches to quality improvement in
Medicaid and CHIP.
AHRQ’s goal in supporting an
evaluation of the CHIPRA Quality
Demonstration Grant Program is to
provide insight into how best to
implement quality improvement
programs as well as information on how
successful programs can be replicated to
improve children’s health care quality
in Medicaid and CHIP. The specific
goals of this project are as follows:
1. Identify CHIPRA State activities
that measurably improve the nation’s
health care, especially as it pertains to
children.
2. Develop a deep, systematic
understanding of how CHIPRA
demonstration States carried out their
grant-funded projects.
3. Understand why the CHIPRA
demonstration States pursued certain
strategies.
4. Understand whether and how the
CHIPRA demonstration States’ efforts
affected outcomes related to knowledge
and behavior change in targeted
providers and/or consumers of health
care.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor,
Mathematica Policy Research Inc., and
their subcontractors, the Urban Institute
and AcademyHealth, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research on health care and
on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To meet these goals AHRQ has
designed a comprehensive evaluation
that will make the best use of qualitative
and quantitative research methods. The
evaluation will include a survey of
pediatricians and family physicians.
This survey will include a random
sample of physicians in Massachusetts,
North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
The questionnaire includes questions
that support an analysis of (1) physician
attitudes towards specific strategies and
resources aimed at improving the
quality of care provided to pediatric
patients; (2) the extent to which
physicians’ practices have attempted to
implement changes in order to improve
the quality of care provided to pediatric
patients; (3) physician attitudes towards
the utility of receiving performance
feedback on nine of measures in the
core quality measure set that are most
relevant to primary care; (4) perceived
usefulness of quality-of-care reports
received by physician practices; (5)
current practices and attitudes towards
pay-for-performance financial incentive
systems based on quality measure
outcomes; (6) physicians’ uses of and
attitudes towards electronic health
records (EHR) in quality measurement
and improvement; (7) current and
expected medical home accreditation
processes; and (8) physician and
practice demographic information.
These data will be analyzed in
conjunction with CMS claims data to
gain insight on physician perspectives
on quality measures and quality
reporting and foster understanding of
the strategies and resources that seemed
to contribute most (or least) to those
outcomes.
A separate information collection
request will be submitted for interviews
and focus groups that are part of this
evaluation. Administrative and survey
data will be analyzed with descriptive
and inferential techniques appropriate
to answering questions about outcomes
and impacts.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondents’ time to participate in this
evaluation. The survey will be
completed by 1,200 pediatricians and
family physicians working in primary
care settings in four States (300 per
State) and takes 30 minutes to complete.
The total burden is estimated to be 600
hours.

result in a more efficient process for
both the public and the Agency. The
HCUP program and the system of
records for the online application

described in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section and System of

received.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background on New System of
Records, ‘‘Online Application Ordering
for HCUP Products From the
Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project
(HCUP)’’
AHRQ is establishing this new system
of records to cover personallyidentifiable information (PII) about
individuals who purchase HCUP
databases and software products for
scientific research purposes through a
new online ordering system. AHRQ’s
research mission, the HCUP databases,
and the online ordering process for
HCUP databases and software products
are explained in more detail below.
A. AHRQ’s Research Mission
The Healthcare Research and Quality
Act of 1999 (‘‘the Act’’), Public Law
106–129, amended Title IX of the Public
Health Service act to establish AHRQ.
The Act requires that AHRQ enhance
the quality, appropriateness, and
effectiveness of health services, and
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
enhance access to such services,
through the establishment of a broad
base of scientific research and through
the promotion of improvements in
clinical and health systems practices,
including the prevention of diseases and
other health conditions. AHRQ
promotes health care quality
improvement by conducting and
supporting:
(1) Research that develops and
presents scientific evidence regarding
all aspects of health care;
(2) Synthesis and dissemination of
available scientific evidence for use by
patients, consumers, practitioners,
providers, purchasers, policy makers,
and educato; and,
(3) Initiatives to advance private and
public efforts to improve health care
quality.
B. The HCUP Databases
AHRQ created a family of health care
databases and related software tools and
products known as the Healthcare Cost
and Utilization Project (HCUP,
pronounced ‘‘H-Cup’’) to conduct and
support its research activities. HCUP
was developed through a Federal-State
Industry partnership and sponsored by
AHRQ; it includes the largest collection
of longitudinal hospital care data in the
United States, with all-payer, encounterlevel information beginning in 1988.
The HCUP databases are annual files
that contain anonymous information
from hospital discharge records for
inpatient care and certain components
of outpatient care, such as emergency
care and ambulatory surgeries. The
project currently releases six types of
databases created for research use on a
broad range of health issues, including
cost and quality of health services,
medical practice patterns, access to
health care programs, and outcomes of
treatments at the national, state, and
local market levels. HCUP also produces
a large number of software tools to
enhance the use of administrative health
care data for research and public health
use. The software tools use information
available from a variety of sources to
create new data elements, often through
sophisticated algorithms, for use with
the HCUP databases.
