Hospice Visits When Death is Imminent: Measure Validity
Testing Summary and Re-Specifications Report
The
Hospice Visits When Death is Imminent (HVWDII) report analyzes a
measure pair focused on visits received by hospice patients in the last
days of life, specifically the last week of life. Measure 1 was found
to meet the threshold for public reporting, while Measure 2 failed to
reach CMS’s readiness standards. The purpose of this report is to share
with the public the findings of the testing on HVWDII Measure 2, which
led to further re-specification and measure testing towards the
development of the claims-based Hospice Visits in the Last Days of Life
(HVLDL) measure. The report reviews the methodology, analysis, results,
and conclusions that motivated CMS to favor adoption of the HVLDL
specification of the measure concept.
