Privacy Act of 1974; Report of Modified System of Records
Document Number: 2014-25937
Type: Notice
Date: 2014-10-31
Agency: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health and Human Services
In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to modify an existing SOR titled, ``Chronic Condition Data Repository (CCDR), System No. 09-70-0573'' last published at 71 FR 54495, September 15, 2006. The current name of the SOR, Chronic Condition Data Repository, was developed during the planning and development stages of the system. Upon the implementation and throughout the operations and maintenance stages of the system, the system has been referred to as the Chronic Condition Warehouse (CCW) in common usage and written references. In keeping with this current usage, we will modify the name of this SOR to read, and from this point forward will refer to the system as: ``Chronic Condition Warehouse (CCW).'' We propose to broaden the scope of the system to include data that can be easily linked, at the individual patient level, to all Medicare and Medicaid claims, enrollment and/or eligibility data, nursing home and home health assessments, and CMS beneficiary survey data. Accordingly, we are updating the Authority Section to include Title XVIII of the Social Security Act as amended (the Act); Section 1902(a)(6) of the Act; Section 1142(c)(6) of the Act; and Title IV of the Balanced Budget Act (Pub. L. 105-33). The Record Source Categories section will be modified to include data from two new systems of records: the CMS Encounter Data System, System No. 09-70-0506, and the National Death Index, System No. 09-20-0166. These modifications will make the CCW a more useful tool by which to support research, policy analysis, quality improvement activities, and demonstrations that attempt to foster a better understanding of how to improve the quality of life and contain the health care costs of the chronically ill. We propose to modify existing Routine Use Number 1, to limit disclosures only to contractors of CMS. We also propose to add two new routine uses. Specifically, we propose adding a routine use to permit disclosures to healthcare providers who seek patient information for use in care coordination and quality improvement activities as described at 45 CFR 164.506(c)(4). This routine use will be added as Routine Use Number 4. We also propose adding a routine use to support public or private Qualified Entities (QEs) that use Medicare claims data to evaluate the performance of providers of services and suppliers on measures of quality, efficiency, effectiveness, and resource use. This routine use will be added as routine use number 6. Finally, we are modifying the language in Routine Use Number 3 to include grantees of CMS administered grant programs and have made minor grammatical changes to Routine Use Number 10. These modifications will provide a better explanation as to the need for the routine use, and to clearly state CMS's intention when making disclosures of individually identifiable information contained in this system. We have provided background information about the modified system in the Supplementary Information section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that the ``Routine Use'' section of the system of records notice be published for comment, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice. See the Effective Dates section for information on the comment period.
