SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of

includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires
federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each
proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that
summarizes the following proposed collection(s) of information for
public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of
a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection:
National Implementation of Hospice Experience of Care Survey (CAHPS
Hospice Survey); Use: CMS launched the development of the CAHPS[supreg]
Hospice Survey in 2012. Public reporting of the results on Hospice
Compare started in 2018. The goal of the survey is to measure the
experiences of patients and their caregivers with hospice care. The
survey was developed to:
Provide a source of information from which selected
measures could be publicly reported to beneficiaries and their family
members as a decision aid for selection of a hospice program;
Aid hospices with their internal quality improvement
efforts and external benchmarking with other facilities; and
Provide CMS with information for monitoring the care
provided.
CAHPS is a standardized family of surveys developed by the Agency
for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) for patients to assess and
report the quality of care they receive from their health care
providers and health care delivery systems.
CMS announced its intention to implement the CAHPS[supreg] Hospice
Survey in the FY 2014 Hospice Wage Index and Payment Rate Update;
Hospice Quality Reporting Requirements; and Updates on Payment Reform.
National implementation of the survey launched on January 1, 2015 with
hospices administering the survey for a ``dry run'' for at least one
month in the first quarter of 2015. Starting April 1, 2015 (second
quarter), hospices were required to participate on a monthly basis in
order to receive the full Annual Payment Update (APU). Implementation
is ongoing and there have been no changes to the questionnaire.
Publicly reporting comparative survey results related to patients'
perspectives of the care they receive from providers and plans
collected through the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and
Systems (CAHPS[supreg]) Surveys support CMS's efforts to put patients
first and improve the beneficiary experience. Form Number: CMS-10537
