This is a one-time approval of this survey instrument as a separate individual information collection request (ICR). Prior to future additional efforts to pursue the Patient-Reported Indicator Survey (PaRIS), the survey is required to be integrated into the the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) ICR (OMB # 0938-0568). This integration should aim to not add additional burden on the MCBS respondent panel. The PaRIS international effort should not determine the policy research and questions of MCBS, but if there is no loss to CMS, the agency should consider on a question by question basis if there is potential to harmonize, thus reduce burden. After the completion of the 2023 data collection, CMS should analyze concordance of responses between the two sets and decide if there are options to merge the two survey instruments rather than adding PaRIS as a supplemental instrument. If CMS plans to use the results for its own purposes – to inform CMS policy needs, the agency is required to conduct parallel cognitive testing and focus groups to understand how its participants in PaRIS are interpreting the questions. This cognitive testing should be on a sufficiently large and diverse group of individuals with the same demographic characteristics as MCBS participants to in order to understand how they interpreted the PaRIS questions.
