Abstract:
Administration of In-center Hemodialysis CAHPS(ICH CAHPS) survey by more than 5,700 Medicare-certified ESRD facilities is now required as part of the value-based purchasing program for payments under the Medicare program, as described in the 2012 proposed and final ESRD Prospective System Payment Update Rules published in the Federal Register on July 8, 2011, and November 10, 2011, respectively. Value-based purchasing promotes CMS' goals: better healthcare for individuals; better care for populations and communities; and, lower costs through improvement. Beginning in CY2014, ICH facilities will be required to contract with a CMS-approved survey vendor to implement the survey; the CMS-approved vendor shall follow a set of standardized survey administration procedures developed for national implementation. Survey results from the national implementation will be publicly reported on the DFC website on www.medicare.gov.

Short Statement:
The field test burden was discontinued in 2007. This is a Reinstatement that adds burden associated with the mode experiment and the national implementation. While the overall burden has increased from adding the mode experiment and the national implementation, the annual (per response) burden for the mode experiment and national implementation have decreased. The hours per response for the field test were approximately .50 hr, compared to the estimated .27 hr for both the ICH CAHPS Survey mode experiment and national implementation.
