Abstract:
The Recovery Act expands the use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health records (EHRs) to improve the quality and value of health care. The Recovery Act establishes incentive payments to Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage Organization (MAO)-affiliated eligible professionals (EPs) and eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) to promote the adoption and meaningful use (MU) of interoperable HIT and EHRs. These provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the "Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act" or "HITECH Act" which authorizes CMS to develop the incentive programs, key to enticing providers to use HIT. All proposed information collection requirements are necessary to implement the HITECH Act.

Short Statement:
The previous package included burden for both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Stage 1 is no longer applicable and has caused for us to reduce the number of hours required, this change also takes into account the streamlined objectives and measures in Modified Stage 2. Additionally, we note that this burden reduction would occur as a result of the reduced numbers of eligible professionals, as they have transitioned to the Quality Payment Program.We also note that the currently approved burden in hours are 4,792,112 and as a result of the changes discussed above those hours are reduced to 575,427 hours.
