Get Up To Speed On Quality Reporting Requirements
Check out new Hospice Quality Reporting Program resources at www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/Hospice-Quality-Reporting/HQRP-Requirements-and-Best-Practices.html. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has posted on the site a new 2020 requirements fact sheet, new questions-and-answers, and more. And make sure you're using the most up-todate version of Medicare's Hospice Quality Reporting Program Quality Measures User's Manual. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services posted a new version of the Hospice Item Set-based manual last month at www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/Hospice-Quality-Reporting/Downloads/HQRP-QM-Users-Manual-v200_January-2018.pdf.
