Proposed Project: Children's Hospital Graduate Medical Education
Payment Program (CHGME PP) Annual Report (OMB No. 0915-0313)--Extension
The CHGME PP was enacted by Public Law 106-129 to provide Federal
support for graduate medical education (GME) to freestanding children's
hospitals, similar to Medicare GME support received by other, non-
children's hospitals. The legislation indicates that eligible
children's hospitals will receive payments for both direct and indirect
medical education. Direct payments are designed to offset the expenses
associated with operating approved graduate medical residency training
programs and indirect payments are designed to compensate hospitals for
expenses associated with the treatment of more severely ill patients
and the additional costs relating to teaching residents in such
programs.
The CHGME PP program was reauthorized for a period of five years in
October 2006 by Public Law 109-307. The reauthorizing legislation
requires that participating children's hospitals provide information
about their residency training programs in an annual report that will
be an addendum to the hospitals' annual applications for funds.
Data are required to be collected on the (1) Types of training
programs that the hospital provided for residents such as general
pediatrics, internal medicine/pediatrics, and pediatric subspecialties
including both medical subspecialties certified and non-medical
subspecialties; (2) the number of training positions for residents, the
number of such positions recruited to fill, and the number of positions
filled; (3) the types of training that the hospital provided for
residents related to the health care needs of difference populations
such as children who are underserved for reasons of family income or
geographic location, including rural and urban areas; (4) changes in
residency training including changes in curricula, training
experiences, and types of training programs, and benefits that have
resulted from such changes and changes for purposed of training
residents in the measurement and improvement and the quality and safety
of patient care; (5) and the numbers of residents (disaggregated by
specialty and subspecialty) who completed training in the academic year
and care for children within the borders of the service area of the
hospital or within the borders of the State in which the hospital is
located.
The estimated annual burden is as follows:
