Don't Be Surprised To See Dashes In HQRP CASPER Reports
The demise of HIS Section O brings with it some changes to Hospice Quality Reporting Program reports. Hospices’ confidential QM Reports and Review and Correct Reports available in CASPER “align with the Hospice Item Set (HIS) V3.00, which removes Section O from the Discharge Assessment and thus ends data collection for the Hospice Visits When Death Is Imminent (HVWDII) measure pair,” the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services explains in a message to providers. The reports now will “display HVWDII measure scores only when hospice agencies select quarters before or including Q4 2020,” CMS continues. “When hospice agencies select quarters after Q4 2020, the reports will display a dash for HVWDII.”
