Abstract:
Section 3004(c) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), (which added section 1814(i)(5) to the Social Security Act) ), authorized the Secretary to establish a quality reporting program for hospices. Section 1814(i)(5)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act required that the Secretary, beginning with FY 2014, reduce the market basket update by 2 percentage points for any hospice that does not submit quality data submission for a fiscal year. During the first "mandatory" reporting period, hospices were required to gather data pertaining to two quality measures: (1) a structural measure titled "Participation in a Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program that Includes at Least Three Quality Indicators Related to Patient Care" and; (2) the National Quality Forum (NQF)-endorsed #0209 pain measure. Hospice providers were then required to report their data between 01/01/2012 and 04/01/2012 In the CY 2013 HH PPS final rule (77 FR 67132 through 67136), CMS retained the two measures that had previously been adopted in the FY 2012 rule. Hospices will continue to collect data for these measures until December 31, 2013. Beginning on July, 1, 2014, hospices shall begin to collect quality measure data using a newly created set of data elements which are collectively titled as the "Hospice Item Set." The Hospice Item Set, which was developed specifically for use in the hospice setting, contains data elements that are used to collect standardized, patient-level data. This data can be used, at a later date, to calculate six NQF-endorsed quality measures and a modification of one NQF-endorsed measure. For more details about the Hospice Item Set, refer to Section 1 of the Supporting Statement A.

Short Statement:
To determine the reduction of burden of hours to reflect removing Section O from discharge assessment, we estimate it would reduce the time to complete the discharge assessment by 4.2 minutes of clinical staff labor. The reduction of burden to collect the revised HIS discharge assessment is 92,989 hours (309,521[current HIS discharge assessment] - 216,532[without Section O]). The total burden hours are 1,908,935; that is divided by 3 years results in the annual burden hours of 636,312.
