CMS–10105 National Implementation
of the In-Center Hemodialysis CAHPS
Survey
Under the 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 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
requires Federal agencies to publish a
60-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.
Information Collections
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: National
Implementation of the In-Center
Hemodialysis CAHPS Survey; Use: The
national implementation of the ICH
CAHPS Survey is designed to allow
third-party, CMS-approved survey
vendors to administer the ICH CAHPS
Survey using mail-only, telephone-only,
or mixed (mail with telephone followup) modes of survey administration.
Experience from previous CAHPS
surveys shows that mail, telephone, and
mail with telephone follow-up data
collection modes work well for
respondents, vendors, and health care
providers. Any additional forms of
information technology, such as web
surveys, is under investigation as a
potential survey option in this
population.
