| 01-28219 | Privacy Act of 1974; Report of New System | Notice | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system of records. The proposed system is titled "Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI), HHS/CMS/CMSO, 09-70-1518." CMS proposes to establish a new system of records containing data on the physical, cognitive, functional, and psychosocial status of all patients receiving the services of Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRF) that are approved to participate in the Medicare program. Information will not be retained in this system for those individuals who have non-Medicare payment sources. The primary purpose of the IRF system of records is to support the IRF prospective payment system (PPS) for payment of the IRF Medicare Part A fee-for-services furnished by the IRF to Medicare beneficiaries. Other purposes for the system of records are to: (1) Help validate and refine the Medicare IRF-PPS; (2) study and help ensure the quality of care provided by IRFs; (3) enable CMS and its agents to provide IRFs with data for their own quality assurance and, (4) ultimately, quality improvement activities; (5) support agencies of the State government, deeming organizations or accrediting agencies to determine, evaluate and assess overall effectiveness and quality of IRF services provided in the State; (6) provide information to consumers to allow them to make better informed selections of providers; (7) support regulatory and policy functions performed within the IRF or by a contractor or consultant; (8) support constituent requests made to a Congressional representative; (9) support litigation involving the facility; and (10) support research on the utilization and quality of inpatient rehabilitation services; as well as, evaluation, or epidemiological projects related to the prevention of disease or disability, or the restoration or maintenance of health for understanding and improving payment systems. We have provided background information about the proposed system in the "Supplementary Information" section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that the "routine use" portion of the system be published for comment, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice. See "Effective Dates section for comment period. | 2001-11-09 | 2001 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/11/09/01-28219/privacy-act-of-1974-report-of-new-system | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-11-09/pdf/01-28219.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system of records.
