Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other

Proposed Project
Million Hearts® Hypertension Control
Challenge (OMB No. 0920–0976, exp.
7/31/2016)—Reinstatement with
Change—National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In September 2011, HHS launched the
Million Hearts® initiative to prevent one
million heart attacks and strokes by
2017. There is scientific evidence that
provides general guidance on the types
of system-based changes to clinical
practice that can improve patient blood
pressure control, but more information
is needed to fully understand
implementation practices so that they
can be shared and promoted.
In 2013, CDC launched the Million
Hearts® Hypertension Control Challenge
(OMB No. 0920–0976, exp. 7/31/2016).
The Challenge is authorized by Public
Law 111–358, the America Creating
Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote
Excellence in Technology, Education
and Science Reauthorization Act of
2010 (COMPETES Act). The annual
Challenge is designed to help CDC (1)
identify clinical practices and health
systems that have been successful in
achieving high rates of hypertension
control, and (2) develop models for
dissemination. The Challenge is open to
single practice providers, group practice
providers, and healthcare systems.
In 2013, 2014, and 2015, CDC
collected information needed to assess
candidates for recognition through the
Million Hearts® Hypertension Control
Challenge. A total of 59 public and
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
private health care practices and
systems were recognized as Million
Hearts® Hypertension Control
Champions for achieving exemplary
levels of hypertension control in adults
ages 18–85.
CDC plans to reinstate the Million
Hearts® Hypertension Control
Challenge, with changes, for
information collection beginning in
2017. Challenges were previously
launched in late summer/early fall. The
2016 Challenge is scheduled to launch
in February 2017, coinciding with
American Heart Month. The nomination
period will be open for approximately
60 days, with recognition of the 2016
Million Hearts® Hypertension Control
Champions in the fall of 2017. A similar
calendar year schedule is planned for
2018 (information collection and
recognition for the 2017 Champions)
and 2019 (information collection and
recognition for the 2018 Champions).
Information collection supporting the
Challenge will be conducted in three
steps. First, interested providers or
practices will complete a web-based
nomination form which provides the
minimum amount of data needed to
demonstrate evidence of clinical success
in achieving hypertension control,
including: (a) Two point-in-time
measures of the clinical hypertension
control rate for the patient population,
(b) the size of the clinic population
served, (c) a description of the patient
population served and geographic
location, and (d) a description of the
sustainable systems and strategies
adopted to achieve and maintain
hypertension control rates. The
estimated burden for completing the
nomination form is 30 minutes. CDC
scientists or contractors will review
each nomination form and assign a
preliminary score.
In the second phase of assessment,
nominees with the highest preliminary
scores (finalists) will be asked to
participate in a one-hour data
verification process. The nominee will
review the nomination form with a
reviewer or abstractor, describe how
information was obtained from the
provider’s (or practice’s) electronic
E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 181 / Monday, September 19, 2016 / Notices
records, chart reviews, or other sources,
and review the methodology used to
calculate the reported hypertension
control rate. CDC conducts data
verification to ensure that all nominees
meet eligibility criteria and calculate
their reported hypertension control rate
according to a standardized method.
In the third phase of the assessment,
each remaining finalist will participate
in a two-hour, semi-structured interview
and provide detailed information about
the patient population served, the
geographic region served, and the
strategies employed by the practice or
health system to achieve exemplary
rates of hypertension control, including
barriers and facilitators for those
strategies.
Based on experience with
administration of the Challenge in
previous years, CDC plans to eliminate
the cash prize awarded to Champions in
previous years, and to implement minor
changes to the nomination form and the
data verification form that will improve
usability and data quality. There are no
changes to the estimated burden per
response. Finally, CDC anticipates an
overall reduction in burden due to a
reduction in the estimated number of
nominees. During the period of this
Reinstatement request, on an annual
basis, CDC estimates that information
will be collected from up to 500
nominees using the nomination form, at
most 40 data verifications, and at most
40 semi-structured interviews.
CDC will use the information
collected through the Million Hearts®
Hypertension Control Challenge to
increase widespread attention to
hypertension at the clinical practice
level, improve understanding of
successful and sustainable
implementation strategies at the practice
or health system level, bring visibility to
organizations that invest in
hypertension control, and motivate
individual practices to strengthen their
hypertension control efforts.
Information collected through the
Million Hearts® Hypertension Control
Challenge will link success in clinical
outcomes of hypertension control with
information about procedures that can
be used to achieve similar favorable
outcomes so that the strategies can be
replicated by other providers and health
care systems.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
370.
