Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We are removing three (3) chart-abstracted measures from the PCHQR Program, which will reduce the information collection burden on the PCHs. The change in the burden is a reduction of approximately 41,538 hours and $1,519,387 annually across all 11 facilities. Finally, while we are also adding four (4) measures, these measures are calculated by CMS using data which facilities already report as part of the claims process and are therefore not anticipated to impose any additional burden on the PCHs.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $20,800
