Webinar
Wednesday, December 7, 2016
10:30 am – Noon CST **
** a recording will be available for those unable to participate live
Hospices have two new quality measures to begin collecting data for on April 1, 2017 - Hospice Visits When Death is Imminent Measure Pair and the Hospice and Palliative Care Composite Process Measure. The HIS tool has been updated to reflect the new reporting requirements and hospices will begin using the HIS version 2.00.0 with admissions and discharges after April 1. A Hospice Compare website and public reporting is on schedule for implementation in summer 2017. To utilize standardized tools most successfully, it is important to understand the instructions for each component of the HIS and the measure definitions.
This informative webinar will:
- Review the current HIS reporting requirements
- List the two new quality measure details
- Explain the four new HIS items
- Provide a preview of publicly reported data
- Share common HIS questions and concerns while providing tips for dealing with these issues
