Title: Hospice Care--Conditions of Participation (CMS-3844-P)
Abstract: This proposed rule revises existing conditions of participation that hospices must meet to participate in the Medicare program. The proposed requirements focus on the actual care delivered to patients and patients' families by hospices and the results of that care, reflect an interdisciplinary view of patient care, allow hospices greater flexibility in meeting quality standards, and eliminate unnecessary procedural requirements.
