As required by Public Law 109-307,
the Children’s Hospitals GME Support Reauthorization Act of 2006, the CHGME
Payment Program is required to collect data for an Annual Report as an addendum
to your FY 2009 initial application for CHGME Funds.
Requirements:
The fiscal year (FY) 2009 Annual Report will be largely the same
as the FY 2008 Annual Report, using forms HRSA 100-1, HRSA 100-2,
and HRSA 100-3. Clarifications have been made in the Annual Report
instructions and selected table headings, especially for Forms 100-3-C
and 100-3-D. As required by law, for FY2009, comparisons will be
made with the previous academic year rather than with all years
since the CHGME program began, as was the case in the FY2008 Annual
Report. The FY2009 Annual Report requires information from the
2007-2008 academic year.
Availability of Forms:
The FY 2009 Annual Report Forms will be available on the CHGME Payment
Program website on December 1, 2008.
Due Date for Completed
Annual Report: The completed FY2009 Annual Reports are due
postmarked on or before February 10, 2009.
Technical Assistance:
Once the Annual Report Forms and Guidance are released, should you
need technical assistance responding to questions or obtaining clarifications,
please call your Regional Manager. If your hospital staff would
like to get technical assistance, contact the CHGME Payment Program
staff to schedule a conference call.
The Annual Report requires data 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 certified medical 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 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.
