Hospice Provider Preview Reports – Now Available

Hospice provider preview reports and Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) Survey ® provider preview reports have been updated and are now available. These two separate reports are available in your Certification and Survey Provider Enhanced Reports (CASPER) non-validation reports folder. Hospice providers are encouraged to review their Hospice Item Set (HIS) quality measure results from Quarter 1- 2017 to Quarter 4-2017 and their facility-level CAHPS® survey results from Quarter 1, 2016 to Quarter 4, 2017. 

Providers have 30-days to review their HIS and CAHPS® results (September 5, 2018 through October 5, 2018).  

The update includes one additional process measure for hospices:

• Hospice and Palliative Care Composite Process Measure – Comprehensive Assessment at Admission (NQF #3235)Should a provider believe the denominator or other HIS quality metric to be inaccurate or if there are errors within the results from the CAHPS® Survey data, a provider may request CMS review. Providers must adhere to the process outlined on the Public Reporting: HIS Preview Reports and Requests for CMS Review of HIS Datawebpage and the Public Reporting: CAHPS® Preview Reports and Requests for CMS Review of CAHPS® Data webpage.
