Special Open Door Forum:
Developing a Hospice Assessment Tool---Status Update
Wednesday, June 12, 2019
2:00-3:00 pm Eastern Time
Conference Call Only
CCSQ will host a Special Open Door Forum (ODF) to allow hospices and other interested parties to ask questions on the development of a Hospice Assessment Tool. This SODF is part of a series of regular SODF’s CMS plans to host on this tool and other key topics related to the Hospice Quality Reporting Program.
The purpose of a hospice assessment tool is to develop a tool that enables CMS and hospices to understand the care needs of people through the dying process and to ensure the safety and comfort of individuals enrolled in hospice institutions nationwide. The SODF will provide a status update and welcomes your questions.
You can learn about the hospice assessment tool by going to: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/ Quality-Initiatives-Patient- Assessment-Instruments/ Hospice-Quality-Reporting/ HEART.html
Feedback and questions on the hospice assessment tool can be sent to: HospiceAssessment@cms.hhs.gov
We look forward to your participation.
