Hospice Provider Preview Reports - Review Your Data & Footnote Update

Hospice Provider Preview Reports are now available. Hospice providers are encouraged to preview their quality measure results based on Quarter 1- 2016 to Quarter 4- 2016 data, prior to the November 2017 Hospice Compare refresh. Providers have 30 days to preview their quality measure results (August 29, 2017 through September 28, 2017). For more information, visit the Hospice Quality Public Reporting webpage and Preview Report Access Instructions. Incorrect Footnote “E” on Provider Preview Report Please note that hospice providers may have incorrectly received footnote “e: Results are based on a shorter time period than required” on the Hospice Provider Preview Report for the reporting period Quarter 1- 2016 to Quarter 4- 2016, which CMS distributed via CASPER on August 29, 2017. If your hospice received this footnote in error, your data will be shown correctly on Hospice Compare, without this footnote, when this data is publicly reported in November 2017. Additionally, this issue will be corrected for the next quarterly Hospice Provider Preview Report, which is due to be released on December 1, 2017. If you have questions concerning this information, please contact the QTSO Help Desk at help@qtso.com or 1-877-201-4721.
