CMS–10550 Hospital National 

Provider Survey 

CMS–10551 Nursing Home National 

Provider Survey 

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is 

defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA 

requires federal agencies to publish a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each 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. 

Information Collection 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Hospital 

National Provider Survey; Use: Section 

3104 of the Patient and Protection and 

Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that 

the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

conduct an assessment of the quality 

and efficiency impact of the use of 

endorsed measures in specific Medicare 

quality reporting and incentive 

programs. The ACA further specifies 

that the initial assessment must occur 

no later than March 1, 2012, and once 

every 3 years thereafter. This planned 

data collection activity was developed 

and tested as part of the 2015 Impact 

Report and data collection will be 

conducted for reporting in the 2018 

Impact Report. 

There are two modes of data 

collection with hospital quality leaders: 

(1) A semi-structured qualitative 

interview and (2) a standardized survey. 

The data from the qualitative interviews 

and standardized surveys will be 

analyzed to provide us with information 

on the quality and efficiency impact of 

measures that we use to assess care in 

the hospital inpatient and outpatient 

settings. The surveys seek to understand 

whether the use of performance 

measures has led to changes in provider 

behavior, and where undesired effects 

are occurring as a result of 

implementing quality and efficiency 

measures. The survey will also help 

identify characteristics associated with 

high performance, which if understood, 

could be used to leverage improvements 

in care among lower performing 

hospitals. The focus of the survey is to 

assess the impacts of the measures that 

we use in the context of public reporting 

(pay-for-reporting) and value-based 

purchasing programs. Form Number: 

CMS–10550 (OMB control number: 

0938–NEW); Frequency: Occasionally; 

Affected Public: Private Sector (Business 

or other for-profit and Not-for-profit 

institutions); Number of Respondents: 

940; Total Annual Responses: 940; Total 

Annual Hours: 639. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Noni Bodkin at 410–786–7837.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Nursing Home 

National Provider Survey; Use: Section 

3104 of the Patient and Protection and 

Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that 

the Secretary of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

conduct an assessment of the quality 

and efficiency impact of the use of 

endorsed measures in specific Medicare 

quality reporting and incentive 

programs. The ACA further specifies 

that the initial assessment must occur 

no later than March 1, 2012, and once 

every 3 years thereafter. This planned 

data collection activity was developed 

and tested as part of the 2015 Impact 

Report and data collection will be 

conducted for reporting in the 2018 

Impact Report. 

There are two modes of data 

collection with nursing home quality 

leaders: (1) A semi-structured 

qualitative interview and (2) a 

standardized survey. The data from the 

qualitative interviews and standardized 

surveys will be analyzed to provide us 

with information on the quality and 

efficiency impact of measures that we 

use to assess care in nursing homes 

delivering skilled nursing care. The 

surveys seek to understand whether the 

use of performance measures has led to 

changes in provider behavior (both at 

the nursing home-level and at the 

frontline of care), and whether 

undesired effects are occurring as a 

result of implementing quality and 

efficiency measures. The survey will 

also help identify characteristics 

associated with high performance, 

which if understood, could be used to 

leverage improvements in care among 

lower performing nursing homes. The 

focus of the survey is to assess the 

impacts of the measures that we use in 

the context of public reporting (pay-forreporting) and quality improvement.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Title: Multi-Site Evaluation of Project 

LAUNCH. 

(OMB No.: 0970–0373) 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, is planning to collect data for 

the multi-site evaluation (MSE) of 

Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for 

Unmet Needs in Children’s Health). 

Project LAUNCH is intended to promote 

healthy development and wellness in 

children from birth to eight years of age. 

Project LAUNCH grantees are funded by 

the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) to 

improve coordination among childserving systems, enhance systems 

coordination, integrate child behavioral 

health services with other health 

services, and implement evidence-based 

programs to address children’s healthy 

development. 

The Project LAUNCH MSE seeks to 

determine the impact of the combined 

LAUNCH services and strategies on 

child, family, and systems level 

outcomes. Data for the MSE will be 

collected through several mechanisms. 

First, all LAUNCH grantees will submit 

semi-annual reports through a webbased data entry system. Second, Project 

LAUNCH grantees will be 

systematically sampled to include 10 

non-tribal and 5 tribal sites, and 

matched comparison communities (10 

non-tribal and 5 tribal) will be recruited 

to participate in data collection efforts. 

Within each site, 2 elementary schools 

and 4 early childhood education (ECE) 

centers will be selected as data 

collection sites. Data collected from this 

sample of LAUNCH and comparison 

communities will include: 

• Surveys of parents of a sample of 

young children (birth through age eight). 

Topics include child health, social 

emotional health, school readiness, 

parent-child relationships, parent 

depression, home environment, and 

parental social support. 

• Surveys of a sample of kindergarten 

teachers. The survey will assess 

kindergarten students’ school readiness 

in the areas of physical health and wellbeing; social competence; emotional 

maturity; language and cognitive 

development; and communication 

skills. 

• Surveys of elementary school and 

ECE administrators. The survey will 

assess child suspension and expulsion. 

In addition, key informant interviews 

will be conducted with local and state 

early childhood leaders to gather 

contextual information about systemslevel activities and change. 

Respondents: All Project LAUNCH 

grantees for the web-based data 

collection; a systematic sample of 

parents, teachers, elementary school and 

ECE administrators in both LAUNCH 

and comparison communities; and key 

informants at the local and state levels 

in both LAUNCH and comparison 

communities.
