CMS launched Care Compare in September 2020, a redesigned Medicare compare tool that allows users to find information about quality measures, star ratings and care experiences for doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, dialysis facilities, hospices, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and long-term care hospitals.
Care Compare – Hospices reports information on hospices across the nation and allows patients, family members, and health care providers to get a snapshot of the quality of care each hospice provides. You can compare hospices based on a national survey that rates family members’ experiences with hospice care or on important indicators of quality, like the percentage of patients checked for pain or who are asked about their preferences for life-sustaining treatment.
Since its launch in August 2017, 7 NQF-endorsed Hospice Item System quality measures are reported on Care Compare – Hospices (formerly Hospice Compare). In August 2019 the site was updated to include hospice provider performance scores on the Hospice Visits when Death is Imminent three-day measure. Reporting on CAHPS Survey Results (8 measures) commenced in February 2018.
