Changes Made to Provider Reports
We
made several updates to the Hospice Quality Reporting Program’s
(HQRP’s) confidential reports available to you in CASPER. The reports
updated include 1) the QM reports, which provide hospice agencies
feedback on their quality measure scores, allowing them to continuously
improve the quality of care delivered; and 2) the Review and Correct
reports, which provide hospice agencies an opportunity to identify any
reporting errors that may affect quality measure performance.
With
the new changes, the QM reports direct readers to the HQRP Public Reporting: Key Dates for Providers page
to obtain more information on public reporting in light of the
COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. In addition, the QM Reports and the
Review and Correct Reports 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 HIS Manual V3.00 received OMB approval as of February
16, 2021. Because of this change to the HIS, the QM and Review and
Correct reports display HVWDII measure scores only when hospice
agencies select quarters before or including Q4 2020; when hospice
agencies select quarters after Q4 2020, the reports will display a dash
for HVWDII. Please find more information on the QM reports on the HQRP Requirements and Best Practices page
and additional information on the HIS V3.00 on the Hospice Item Set page.
