(such as 18–35), or patients enrolled in
limited scale quality improvement
projects.
The estimated burden for completing
the nomination form is 30 minutes.
Amount of the Prize:
Up to a total of 20 of highest scoring
individual clinicians, clinical practices
or health systems will be recognized as
Million Hearts® Hypertension Control
Champions and will receive a cash
award of $2,000. A maximum of $40,000
will be awarded in this challenge.
Payment of the Prize:
Prizes awarded under this challenge
will be paid by electronic funds transfer
and may be subject to Federal income
taxes. HHS will comply with the
Internal Revenue Service withholding
and reporting requirements, where
applicable.
Basis Upon Which Winner Will Be
Selected:
The nomination will be scored based
on hypertension control rate (95% of
score); and sustainable systems in the
practice that support hypertension
control (5% of score).
Nominees with the highest score will
be required to participate in a two-phase
process to verify their data. Nominees
who are non-compliant or nonresponsive with the data requests or
timelines will be removed from further
consideration. Phase 1 includes
verification of the hypertension
prevalence and blood pressure control
rate data submitted and a background
check. For nominees whose Phase 1
data is verified as accurate, phase 2
consists of a medical chart review.
National Quality Forum Measure #0018
for controlling high blood pressure will
be used to evaluate the submitted data.
Details about NQF 0018 can be found at
https://www.qualityforum.org/QPS/0018.
A CDC-sponsored panel of three to
five experts consisting of HHS/CDC staff
will review the nominations that pass
the verification to select Champions.
Final selection will take into account all
the information from the nomination
form, the background check, and data
verification. Geographic location and
population treated may be used to break
ties in the event of tie scores at any
point in the selection process.
Some Champions will participate in a
post-challenge telephone interview. The
interview will include questions about
the strategies employed by the
individual or organization to achieve
high rates of hypertension control,
including barriers and facilitators for
those strategies. The interview will
focus on systems and processes and
should not require preparation time by
the Champion. The estimated time for
the interview is two hours, which
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:30 Aug 19, 2014
Jkt 232001
includes time to review the interview
protocol with the interviewer, respond
to the interview questions, and review
a summary data about the Champion’s
practices. The summary will be written
as a success story and will be posted on
the Million Hearts® Web site.
Additional Information:
Information received from nominees
will be stored in a password protected
file on a secure server. The challenge
Web site may post the number of
nominations received but will not
include information about individual
nominees. The database of information
submitted by nominees will not be
posted on the Web site. Information
collected from nominees will include
general details, such as the business
name, address, and contact information
of the nominee. This type of information
is generally publically available. The
nomination will collect and store only
aggregate clinical data through the
nomination process; no individual
identifiable patient data will be
collected or stored. Confidential or
propriety data, clearly marked as such,
will be secured to the full extent
allowable by law.
Information for selected Champions,
such as the provider, practice, or health
system’s name, location, hypertension
control rate, and clinic practices that
support hypertension control will be
shared through press releases, the
challenge Web site, and Million Hearts®
and HHS/CDC resources.
Summary data on the types of systems
and processes that all nominees use to
control hypertension may be shared in
documents or other communication
products that describe generally used
practices for successful hypertension
control. HHS/CDC will use the summary
data only as described.
Compliance With Rules and
Contacting Contest Winners:
Finalists and Champions must
comply with all terms and conditions of
these official rules, and winning is
contingent upon fulfilling all
