AHCA/NCAL Comments on Request for Information; Reducing Administrative Burden To Put Patients Over Paperwork

Aug 12, 2019· DC - American Health Care Association (AHCA)· CMS-2019-0084-0407

The American Health Care Association (AHCA) is pleased to submit these comments in response to CMS Request for Information (RFI) entitled, "File Code CMS-6082-NC: Request for Information; Reducing Administrative Burden to Put Patients Over Paperwork," and published in the Federal Register on June 11, 2019. Our comments focus on three areas that create substantial administrative burden and takes staff away from the bedside. Thank you for inviting feedback and considering these recommendations.

Abstract

CMS is committed to transforming the health care delivery system--and the Medicare and Medicaid programs--by putting additional focus on patient-centered care, innovation, and outcomes. As part of our continuing Patients over Paperwork initiative, we have actively solicited feedback from the medical community through Requests for Information (RFIs), listening sessions, and clinical onsite engagements with front-line clinicians and staff to learn how our administrative requirements and processes affect their daily work and ability to innovate in care delivery. This RFI solicits additional public comment on ideas for regulatory, subregulatory, policy, practice, and procedural changes that reduce unnecessary administrative burdens for clinicians, providers, patients and their families. Through these efforts, we aim to increase quality of care, lower costs, improve program integrity, and make the health care system more effective, simple, and accessible.
