Program Description: The Hospice Care Index was added to hospice quality reporting in the fall of 2021 and is a big move by CMS to claims-based quality measurement in hospice. Now that the HCI is available in agency data and public reporting, hospices must get to know the background of this new quality reporting measure, what the components of this rating scale are, and the potential impact for you and your agency. Do you know your number and what it means for you?

Reporting of Perceived Bias
Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the “tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.” Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants may use their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities, especially in the presence of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their “ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line” to report any noted bias or conflict of interest in the education activity. The toll free number is 1(866) 262-9730.
