proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that summarizes the following proposed collections of information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection Request for a new OMB control number; Title of Information Collection: Evaluation of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CMS Network of Quality Improvement and Innovation Contractors NQIIC; Use: The purpose of this Information Collection Request ICR is to collect data using telephone surveys to inform the program evaluation of the CMS NQIIC initiative.
The purpose of NQIIC is to support quality improvement efforts across settings and programs for maximum impact to health care and value to taxpayers in a manner that aligns with CMS and Department of Health and Human Services HHS priorities. The NQIIC quality improvement efforts involve the QINQIO Program, which is one of the largest federal programs dedicated to improving health quality for Medicare beneficiaries.
CMS evaluates the quality and effectiveness of the QINQIO Program as authorized in Part B of Title XI of the Social Security Act. This ICR is to conduct data collection using surveys with administrators or managers of nursing homes and hospitals.
Subsequent to publishing the 60-day Federal Register notice on March 9, 2021 86 FR 13566, CMS conducted pre-testing with nursing home and hospital administrators using cognitive interviews, which provided substantive input from the targeted respondents to make sure that questions are clearly stated and understood as intended. We have made the required changes to questions to optimize response validity before fielding the survey. There was a slight decrease in burden hours. Form Number: CMS10769 OMB control number: 0938NEW; Frequency:
Yearly; Affected Public: State and Private Sector Business or other forprofits; Number of Respondents: 1,000;
Total Annual Responses: 1,000; Total Annual Hours: 290. For policy questions regarding this collection, contact Jeff Mokry at 2147674021.
