Abstract:
Section 3005 of the Affordable Care Act authorizes the establishment of a new quality reporting program for PPS-exempt cancer hospitals (PCHs). Beginning in FY 2014 and subsequent fiscal years, the quality measures PPS-exempt cancer hospitals are required to collect and submit five (5) quality measures to CMS through the Center for Disease Control/National Health Safety Network (CDC/NHSN) and American College of Surgeons'/Commission on Cancer/National Cancer Data Base (ACS/CoC/NCDB). In an effort to minimize burden and maximize efficiency, CMS has leverage two existing systems to collect aggregated and calculated measure rates from the above mentioned entities. These entities will submit the aggregated and calculated measure rates, in a form, manner and time as specified by CMS, via a secure portal known as the QualityNet Web site beginning of October 1, 2012 for FY2014 program year. CMS is proposing to implement some procedural requirements to align with current quality reporting programs. These procedural requirements would involve submitting necessary forms to comply with the PCHQR Program and aligns with current CMS reporting requirements for other quality programs. The aforementioned forms are the Notice of Participation (NOP), Decline Participation, Data Accuracy and Completeness Acknowledgement (DACA), and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Location Waiver (specifically for the HAI measures) forms.
