Hospices see relatively light action in the HHS Office of Inspector General's new work plan for 2012. The OIG lists only two topics for the industry -- one new ("Hospice Marketing Practices and Financial Relationships with Nursing Facilities") and one existing topic ("Medicare Hospice General Inpatient Care"). The OIG had indicated in a recent report on hospice-nursing home problems that it would add the nursing facility topic. See more details on each topic in the work plan at http://oig.hhs.gov/reports-and-publications/workplan/index.asp#current.
