SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

(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
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
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 of a currently
approved collection without change;
Title of Information Collection: Hospice
Quality Reporting Program; Use: The
Hospice Item Set (HIS) is a
standardized, patient-level data
collection tool developed specifically
for use by hospices. It is currently used
for the collection of quality measure
data pertaining to the Hospice Quality
Reporting Program (HQRP). Since April
1, 2017, hospices have been using the
HIS V2.00.0 which specifies the
collection of data items that support
eight National Quality Forum (NQF)
endorsed Quality Measures (QMs) and
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

an additional measure pair for hospice.
All Medicare-certified hospice providers
are required to submit HIS admission
and discharge records to CMS for each
patient admission and discharge. The
HIS contains data elements that are used
by the CMS to calculate these measures
and also allows CMS to collect quality
data from hospices in compliance with
Section 3004 of the Affordable Care Act.
The information collection request was
revised to remove Section O of the HIS
discharge assessment now that we
proposed to replace it with the claimsbased Hospice Visits in the Last Days of
Life quality measure. Form Number:
