Abstract

CMS requires the Form CMS-265-11 to determine an ESRD facility’s reasonable costs incurred in furnishing medical services to Medicare beneficiaries. ESRD facilities paid under the ESRD prospective payment system (PPS) may receive reimbursement in addition to the ESRD PPS payment for Medicare reimbursable bad debts. CMS uses the Form 265-11 for annual rate setting; payment refinement activities, including developing a ESRD market basket; and Medicare Trust Fund projections; and to support program operations. Additionally, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) uses the cost report data to calculate Medicare margins (a measure of the relationship between Medicare’s payments and providers’ Medicare costs) and analyze data to formulate Medicare Program recommendations to Congress.

Abstract

The Child Hospital CAHPS Survey (Child HCAHPS) assesses the experiences of pediatric patients (less than 18 years old) and their parents or guardians with inpatient care. It complements the Adult Hospital CAHPS Survey (Adult HCAHPS), which asks adult inpatients about their experiences. In contrast to the adult version of HCAHPS, there is no publicly available comprehensive database for Child HCAHPS that allows survey users to analyze and compare their survey results in order to assess their performance and identify opportunities for improvement. The proposed Child HCAHPS Database will fill this critical information gap by creating a voluntary database available to all Child HCAHPS users to support both quality improvement and research to enhance the patient-centeredness of care delivered to pediatric hospital patients. AHRQ supported the development of the Child HCAHPS survey by the Center of Excellence for Pediatric Quality Measurement at Boston Children’s Hospital. The Child HCAHPS survey is currently used by approximately 300 hospitals. Hospitals using Child HCAHPS, including the 25 hospital members of the Pediatric Patient Experience Collaborative, have expressed strong interest in working with AHRQ to develop a database that can provide a centralized repository of data. Rationale for the information collection. Like the survey instrument itself and related toolkit materials to support survey implementation, the Child HCAHPS Database results will be made publicly available on AHRQ’s CAHPS website. Technical assistance will be provided by AHRQ through its contractor at no charge to hospitals to facilitate the access and use of these materials for quality improvement and research. Technical assistance will also be provided to support Child HCAHPS data submission.

Abstract

The Nationwide Study (NWS) is part of the Sexual Risk Avoidance Education National Evaluation (SRAENE) National Descriptive Study (NDS). The purpose of SRAENE is to provide information on the design and implementation of Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) programs, the effectiveness of program components, and the ways grant recipients can use data and evidence to improve SRAE programming. SRAENE involves the following three main parts, two sub-studies and the provision of technical assistance: (1) the NDS of SRAE program implementation and youth outcomes, (2) a Program Components Impact Study to identify effective SRAE program components (OMB information collection request forthcoming), and (3) data capacity building and local evaluation support for SRAE grant recipients (feedback surveys approved through generic clearances). This request is specific to the NDS and the goal is to learn about program implementation experiences and outcomes of the SRAE grant program. The data collection would include conducting onetime surveys of SRAE grant recipients, program providers, and program facilitators as well as holding focus groups with youth from various SRAE programs. Taken together, these data will be used to understand program implementation experiences and to examine relationships between program implementation and outcomes.

Abstract

Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Act) required the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (BCFP) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (together, Agencies and separately, Agency) each to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all matters of the Agency relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. The Act also instructed each OMWI Director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by the Agency. The Agencies worked together to develop joint standards (Joint Standards) and, on June 10, 2015, they jointly published in the Federal Register the “Final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies” (Policy Statement). The Agencies use the information provided to them to monitor progress and trends in the financial services industry with regard to diversity and inclusion in employment and contracting activities, as well as to identify and highlight those policies and practices that have been successful. The primary federal financial regulator will share information with other agencies, when appropriate, to support coordination of efforts and to avoid duplication. The Agencies may publish information disclosed to them, such as best practices, in any form that does not identify a particular entity or individual or disclose confidential business information.

Abstract

The purpose of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Account Profile is to collect information (contact information, demographic information, and academic/professional information) on Research.gov. This profile will assist the NSF in maintaining a centralized account registration and profile management process for the external research community, persisting across all NSF business applications throughout their research career. The original version of Account Registration and Management Records, NSF-76, was approved for implementation in the Federal Register (FR) [Volume 83, pages 6884-6885, February 15, 2018]. The NSF Account Profile directly benefits researchers by making it easier for them to access and update their information over time, which will be used to pre-populate forms, downstream applications, and databases for users. The NSF Account Profile allows for single sign on (SSO) to downstream NSF business applications and ensures data integrity on the profile, fully managed by the individual researcher. The NSF Account Profile also reduces administrative burden for support professionals by improving efficiencies for internal staff as they review and evaluate NSF programs, facilitate proposal submission, simplify reviewer activities, and provide data for the selection and management of reviewers and related merit review functions.
