SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove
AHRQ’s collection of information for
the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database:
OMB Control number 0935–0165,
expiration May 31, 2020 (the CAHPS
Health Plan Database). The CAHPS
Health Plan Database consists of data
from the AHRQ CAHPS Health Plan
Survey. Health plans in the U.S. are
asked to voluntarily submit data from
the survey to AHRQ, through its
contractor, Westat. The CAHPS Health
Plan Database was developed by AHRQ
in 1998 in response to requests from
health plans, purchasers, and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) to provide comparative
data to support public reporting of
health plan ratings, health plan
accreditation and quality improvement.
This research has the following goals:
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health
Plan Database using data from AHRQ’s
standardized CAHPS Health Plan
Survey to provide results to health care
purchasers, consumers, regulators and
policy makers across the country.
(2) To offer several products and
services, including aggregated results
presented through an Online Reporting

System, summary chartbooks, custom
analyses, and data for research
purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ’s
annual National Healthcare Quality and
Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS
for public reporting on Medicaid.gov
and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not
display the name of the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health
Plan Database are used to produce four
types of products: (1) An annual
chartbook available to the public on the
CAHPS Database website (https://
www.cahpsdatabase.ahrq.gov/
CAHPSIDB/Public/Chartbook.aspx); (2)
individual participant reports that are
confidential and customized for each
participating organization (e.g., health
plan, Medicaid agency) that submits
their data; (3) a research database
available to researchers wanting to
conduct additional analyses; and (4)
data tables provided to AHRQ for
inclusion in the National Healthcare
Quality and Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Westat,
pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority
to conduct and support research on
healthcare and on systems for the
delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services; quality measurement and
development, and database

to ensure that it meets CAHPS Health
Plan Survey standards (the survey
instrument must include all core
questions, not alter the wording of any
core questions, and must not omit any
of the survey items related to
respondent characteristics that are used
for case mix adjustment.)
• Data Files Submission—POCs
upload their data file using the Health

health plans, completes a number of
Each State Medicaid agency, health
plan or vendor will register online for
submission. The online registration
form will require about 5 minutes to
complete. Each submitter will also
complete a health plan information form
about each health plan, such as the
name of the plan, the product type (e.g.,
HMO, PPO), and the population
surveyed (e.g., adult Medicaid or child
Medicaid). Each year, the prior year’s
plan data are preloaded in the plan table
to lessen burden on the POC. The POC
is responsible for updating the plan
table to reflect the current year’s plan
information. The online health plan
information form takes on average 30
minutes to complete per health plan
with each POC completing the form for
four plans on average. The data use
agreement will be completed by the 75
participating State Medicaid agencies or
individual health plans. Vendors do not
sign or submit DUAs. The DUA requires
about 5 minutes to sign and upload.
Each submitter will provide a copy of
their questionnaire and the survey data
file in the required file format. Survey
data files must conform to the data file
layout specifications provided by the
CAHPS Health Plan Database. Since the
unit of analysis is at the health plan
level, submitters will upload one data
file per health plan. Once a data file is
uploaded the file will be checked
automatically to ensure it conforms to
the specifications and a data file status
report will be produced and made
available to the submitter. Submitters
will review each report and will be
expected to fix any errors in their data
file and resubmit if necessary. It will
take about 1 hour to submit the
questionnaire and data for each plan,
and each POC will submit data for four
plans on average. The total burden is
estimated to be 463 hours annually.

Evaluating the Dissemination and
Implementation of PCOR To Increase
Referral, Enrollment, and Retention
Through Automatic Referral to Cardiac
Rehabilitation (CR) With Care

The aim of AHRQ’s TAKEheart
project is to (a) raise awareness about
the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation
(CR) after myocardial infarction or
coronary revascularization, then to (b)

Frm 00036

disseminate knowledge about the best
practices to increase referrals to CR,
and, finally, (c) to increase CR uptake.
Currently over two-thirds of eligible
cardiac patients are not referred to CR
despite extensive evidence of its
effectiveness in preventing subsequent
morbidity; national estimates of referral
range from 10–34%. To help improve
CR rates, the Million Hearts® Cardiac
Rehabilitation Collaborative—an
initiative co-led by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
and the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS)—developed a
Cardiac Rehabilitation Change Package
(CRCP) and established a national goal
of 70% participation in CR by 2022 for
eligible patients. Recognizing that
widespread adoption of the CRCP could
help hospitals enhance CR rates, the
CDC turned to AHRQ with a request that
AHRQ consider disseminating and
implementing evidence for CR and
practices that promote CR. The CRCP is
designed to facilitate this dissemination
and implementation process. AHRQ
reviewed this request in the context of
its Patient Centered Outcomes Research
Dissemination and Implementation
initiative and judged the CDC
nomination to have a high level of fit
with AHRQ’s criteria of having a
substantial evidence base, high potential
impact, and high feasibility for wide
dissemination and implementation
Outreach with stakeholders indicates
that this initiative aligns well but does
not duplicate work by NIH; PCORI; CMS
and CDC.
The core recommendations in the
CDC package are, first to spread
adoption of automatic referral system—
where patients after cardiovascular
events are referred by the Electronic
Health Record to rehabilitation unless
the cardiologist actively decides not to
refer because of medical ineligibility.
The second core recommendation is use
of a care coordinator to guide patients
through referral has resulted in the most
significant increases in referral to CR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Health
Plan Survey Database
AHRQ requests that OMB reapprove AHRQ's collection of information
for the AHRQ Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
(CAHPS) Health Plan Survey Database: OMB Control number 0935-0165,
expiration May 31, 2020 (the CAHPS Health Plan Database). The CAHPS
Health Plan Database consists of data from the AHRQ CAHPS Health Plan

This research has the following goals:
(1) To maintain the CAHPS Health Plan Database using data from
AHRQ's standardized CAHPS Health Plan Survey to provide results to
health care purchasers, consumers, regulators and policy makers across
the country.
(2) To offer several products and services, including aggregated
results presented through an Online Reporting

System, summary chartbooks, custom analyses, and data for research
purposes.
(3) To provide data for AHRQ's annual National Healthcare Quality
and Disparities Report.
(4) To provide state-level data to CMS for public reporting on
Medicaid.gov and Data.Medicaid.gov that does not display the name of
the health plans.
Survey data from the CAHPS Health Plan Database are used to produce
four types of products: (1) An annual chartbook available to the public
on the CAHPS Database website (https://www.cahpsdatabase.ahrq.gov/CAHPSIDB/Public/Chartbook.aspx); (2) individual participant reports
that are confidential and customized for each participating
organization (e.g., health plan, Medicaid agency) that submits their
data; (3) a research database available to researchers wanting to
conduct additional analyses; and (4) data tables provided to AHRQ for
inclusion in the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports.
This study is being conducted by AHRQ through its contractor,

research on healthcare and on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness,
efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services; quality
measurement and development, and database development. 42 U.S.C.
299a(a)(1), (2) and (8).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the following data collections
will be implemented:
Health Plan Registration Form--The point-of-contact (POC),
often the sponsor from Medicaid agencies and health plans, completes a
number of data submission steps and forms, beginning with the
completion of the online registration form. The purpose of this form is
to collect basic contact information about the organization and
initiate the registration process.
Data Use Agreement--The purpose of the data use agreement,
completed by the participating sponsor organization, is to state how
data submitted by health plans will be used and provide confidentiality
assurances.
Health Plan Information Form--The purpose of this form,
completed by the participating sponsor organization, is to collect
background characteristics of the health plan.
Questionnaire Submission--POCs upload a copy of the
questionnaire used to ensure that it meets CAHPS Health Plan Survey
standards (the survey instrument must include all core questions, not
alter the wording of any core questions, and must not omit any of the
survey items related to respondent characteristics that are used for
case mix adjustment.)
Data Files Submission--POCs upload their data file using
the Health Plan data file specifications to ensure that users submit
standardized and consistent data in the way variables are named, coded,
and formatted.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated burden hours for the respondents to
participate in the database. The burden hours pertain only to the
collection of Medicaid data from State Medicaid agencies and individual
Medicaid health plans because those are the only entities that submit
data through the data submission process (other data are obtained from
CMS). The 85 POCs in Exhibit 1 are a combination of an estimated 75
State Medicaid agencies and individual health plans, and 10 vendor
organizations.
Each State Medicaid agency, health plan or vendor will register
online for submission. The online registration form will require about
5 minutes to complete. Each submitter will also complete a health plan
information form about each health plan, such as the name of the plan,
the product type (e.g., HMO, PPO), and the population surveyed (e.g.,
adult Medicaid or child Medicaid). Each year, the prior year's plan
data are preloaded in the plan table to lessen burden on the POC. The
POC is responsible for updating the plan table to reflect the current
year's plan information. The online health plan information form takes
on average 30 minutes to complete per health plan with each POC
completing the form for four plans on average. The data use agreement
will be completed by the 75 participating State Medicaid agencies or
individual health plans. Vendors do not sign or submit DUAs. The DUA
