Secretary (OS), Department of Health

Request (ICR), described below, to the
Office of Management and Budget

OMB, OS seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before November 18,

Information Collection Request Title:
Survey of Medical Care Providers for the
Evaluation of the Regional Extension
Center (REC) Program
Abstract: This new, one-time data
collection activity is needed to collect
information from practices that are
utilizing assistance from the Regional
Extension Center program to implement
and meaningfully use health
information technology, as well as
practices that are not working with a
Regional Extension Center. The survey
data will be analyzed to determine
whether there is an association between
REC participation and the use of
technical assistance, EHR adoption, and
achievement of meaningful use of
electronic health records by primary
care practices. The data will also be
used to identify challenges faced by
primary care practices when adopting
and meaningfully using EHRs. The
resulting data will inform policy
decisions by the Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology (ONC), REC program
administrators, and the broader
community of policy makers and
researchers interested in electronic
health record (EHR) adoption.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology has funded an independent
national program evaluation of the
Regional Extension Center program. The
proposed information collection effort is
necessary to collect information to
answer the following research
questions: (1) Is REC participation
associated with adoption of EHRs and
meaningful use of EHRs? (2) Is REC
participation associated with attestation
in the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare and
Medicaid incentive programs? (3) Is REC
participation associated with
satisfaction and positive opinions about
EHRs? (4) Is REC participation
associated with use of assistance
services? (5) Is REC participation
associated with experiencing less
difficulty in adoption of EHRs? (6) Is
REC participation associated with being
part of a care transformation program?
There is no existing data source that can
be used to answer these research
questions.
Likely Respondents: The survey
targets small primary care practices, and

asks for the staff member most
knowledgeable about electronic health
record (EHR) adoption and utilization to
answer the survey.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

summarized in the table below.

needed to review instructions, to

of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and

Public Law 111–3, amended the Social
Security Act (the Act) to enact section
1139A (42 U.S.C. 1320b–9a). Section
1139A(b) charged the Department of
Health and Human Services with
improving pediatric health care quality
measures. This effort includes
development of several new pediatric
quality measures, including a pediatric
readmission measure. The Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ) is requesting comments from
the public on an algorithm for
identifying pediatric planned
procedures as part of the readmission
measure. The purpose of the algorithm
is to identify, using International
Classification of Diseases, Ninth
Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–9–
CM) procedure codes, pediatric
procedures that are usually planned so
that admissions for these procedures

To identify planned procedures,
expert pediatric clinicians in 14
different procedure-oriented specialties
reviewed procedures typically
performed by their specialty. The
reviewers indicated which procedures
(1) are usually planned (defined as
planned in more than 80% of cases) and
(2) could require hospitalization.
Admissions for which the primary
procedure coded was one of these
procedures are excluded from the count
of readmissions.
The list of ICD–9–CM codes and code
descriptions for the planned procedures
is available at: https://www.ahrq.gov/

DATES: Please submit comments October
21, 2013. AHRQ will not respond to
individual comments, but will consider
all comments.

encouraged, preferably as an email with
