Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 88 / Monday, May 7, 2018 / Notices
The proposed Rural Quality draft
measures reflect a reduced number of
required measures and improvements to
the number of optional measures
including the following: 24 total
measures (previously 43), which
includes 16 required measures
applicable to all awardees in addition to
improved optional measure choices for
8 total optional measures (previously 4).
Proposed revisions specifically include
the following: (1) Alignment of clinical
measures to current National Quality
Forum endorsement recommendations
and (2) broadened orientation of
measures for improved applicability
across variety of rural quality
improvement project topic areas.
With the continuing shift in the
healthcare environment towards
provision of value-based care and
utilization of reimbursement strategies
through Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid quality reporting programs,
the latest competitive cohort also aligns
with this shift. An increased number of
sophisticated applicants leveraging
increasingly intricate reporting
methodologies for quality data
collection, utilization, and analysis has
resulted in an estimate of burden hours
more in line with the realities of the
health care landscape.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
would be award recipients of the Small
Health Care Provider Quality
Improvement Program.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
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
hours estimated for this ICR are
