Annual Time Burden on CAHs for New Medicare Data Collection – Comment by October 7
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requests public input on the annual hourly burden for Critical Access Hospitals to collect and report data on obstetrical services, as proposed in the Outpatient Prospective Payment System Rule, and on acute respiratory illnesses, as finalized in the Inpatient Prospective Payment System Rule.
The new Conditions of Participation (CoPs) in these rules include multiple information collection requirements that are one-time burdens for developing new policies, protocols and ongoing reporting requirements, such as daily or biweekly reporting of respiratory illnesses as well as maternal deaths.
More information can be found HERE in the rules and in the information collection supporting documentation.
