Review; Comment Request

review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request

The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Children's Hospital Graduate Medical Education
(CHGME) Payment Program Annual Report (OMB No. 0915-0313)--Extension
The CHGME Payment Program 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 Payment 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 different 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 purposes of training
residents in the measurement and improvement and the quality and safety
of patient care; and (5) 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.
