Check out the newest frequently asked questions received by the Hospice Quality Help Desk in the Hospice Quality Reporting Program quarterly update at www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/Hospice-Quality-Reporting/HQRP-Requirements-and-Best-Practices.html. For example: "Hospices should correct all errors in their HIS data to ensure that the information in the QIES ASAP system accurately reflects the patient's clinical record," CMS instructs in the FAQs. "A HIS record may be corrected even if subsequent records have been accepted for the patient," CMS clarifies. The update also includes events from the third quarter and upcoming events in the fourth quarter.
