Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Million Hearts Hospitals & Health Systems
Recognition Program'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on
September 17, 2021 to obtain comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC did not receive comments related to the previous notice.
This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public and
affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

Proposed Project
Million Hearts Hospitals & Health Systems Recognition Program (OMB
Control No. 0920-1274, Exp. 11/30/2022)--Revision--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) kill
over 800,000 Americans each year, accounting for one in every three
deaths. CVD is the nation's number one killer among both men and women
and the leading cause of health disparities. Million Hearts[supreg], a
national, public-private initiative co-led by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), was established to address this issue. Whether
migrating towards value-based reimbursement or simply striving for a
significant impact in reducing the devastation of heart attacks and
strokes, clinical organizations are positioned to improve the health of
the population they serve by implementing high-impact, evidence-based
strategies. Achieving a Million Hearts[supreg] Hospitals & Health
Systems designation signals a commitment to not only clinical quality,
but population health overall.
Initially launched in 2020, the Program will continue to recognize
institutions that are working to systematically improve the
cardiovascular health of the population and communities that they serve
by implementing strategies under the new Million Hearts[supreg]
priority areas of Building Healthy Communities, Optimizing Care,
Focusing on Health Equity, and Supplemental Programs and Innovations.
CDC anticipates that new applicants will range from health systems with
multiple hospitals, hospitals with and without ambulatory medical
practices, and medical practices not affiliated with hospitals.
Any clinical entity whose leaders consider it eligible may apply.
Recognition can be achieved by a robust commitment to implement
specific strategies, by implementing these specific strategies, and
most importantly, by achieving specific outcomes. Applicants will
complete the Million Hearts[supreg] Hospitals & Health Systems
Recognition Program application, indicating the areas in which they are
committing to implement Million Hearts[supreg] strategies; areas in
which they have implemented key strategies; and those strategies for
which they have achieved outcomes/results.
Applicants must address a minimum of one strategy in at least three
of the four priority areas (Building Healthy Communities, Optimizing
Care, Focusing on Health Equity, and Supplemental Programs and
Innovations) that are outlined in the application. However, they are
encouraged to target as many strategies as is appropriate for their
institution. Applicants will be subject to a background check.
All applicants with reported outcomes and a select number of those
who are committing to implement or are implementing Million
Hearts[supreg] strategies, will be asked to participate in a semi-
structured, qualitative interview. The purpose of the interview is to
obtain in-depth contextual information about the Million Hearts[supreg]
strategies and facilitators used to achieve improved cardiovascular
outcomes among the applicant's patient population. Applicants with
reported outcomes will receive increased recognition from Million
Hearts[supreg] by having their success stories highlighted by Million
Hearts[supreg] by placement on the Million Hearts[supreg] website, e-
newsletter, etc.
The program's web-based application will stay open throughout the
year and applications will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and
recognized within six months of acceptable review. CDC estimates that
information will be collected from up to 50 applicants per year. CDC
will use the information collected through the Million Hearts[supreg]
Hospitals & Health Systems Recognition Program to increase widespread
attention on successful and sustainable implementation strategies,
improve understanding of these strategies at the practice level, bring
visibility to organizations that commit, implement, or have implemented
Million Hearts[supreg] strategies and motivate other hospitals and
health systems to strengthen their efforts to address CVD.
CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 149 annual burden hours.
Participation is voluntarily and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
