FREE EXPERT REPORT:
Discover the Small Set of Hospice Measures That Truly Matter
In hospice care, not all quality measures are created equal.
Out of more than 40 metrics tracked by CMS, only a handful actually influence payers, hospitals, and ACOs when they decide which hospices to include in preferred referral networks. This free report — produced by an independent panel of hospice and value-based care experts — shows you exactly which measures to track, why they matter, and how to use them to strengthen your position in a competitive market.
Why These Metrics Matter Now
Preferred networks are here. National leaders like HCA Healthcare already use performance data to decide which hospices make the cut.
Payers and ACOs are watching. Understanding the right metrics can give you an edge in contract negotiations and network participation.
Focus equals results. Stop spreading your attention across dozens of redundant or low-impact measures. Instead, put resources toward the data points that truly move the needle.
