Hospice providers now have the opportunity to learn more about the Hospice Quality Reporting Program website and refined coding guidance for the Hospice Item Set (HIS).
 
This education is part of two separate series of modules recently released by CMS.
 
One series is designed to help hospice providers navigate the newly designed hospice quality reporting website as well as the QIES Technical Support Office (QTSO) website and the CAHPS survey website.
 
The other series is based on frequently asked questions on the Hospice Quality Help Desk. The refined coding guidance includes clarification “clinical examples, tips, and item-level HIS coding guidance,” according to CMS.
