Title: Hospice Care Conditions of Participation (CMS-3844-F)(Section 610 Review) | |
Abstract: This final rule is a regulatory reform initiative that revises existing conditions of participation that hospices must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The 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, and allow hospices greater flexibility in meeting quality standards. These changes are an integral part of our efforts to achieve broad-based improvements and measurements of the quality of care furnished through Federal programs while at the same time reducing procedural burdens on providers. | |
