CMS' HOPE tool will be required for all hospice admissions as of Oct 1, 2025. That will be here before you know it. Best to prepare now to avoid stiff financial penalties in the future.
To get you started, I'm teaching a HOPE workshop with HHAU next week. I HOPE (Haha! See what I did there?) you'll join me as you gear up for this big change to your hospice operations. We'll explore all that CMS has published so far on the HOPE tool. And we'll discuss what you can do now to be ready for implementation next year.
Also, CHAP has a helpful web page with excellent references to help with your HOPE preparations.
Be well, my friend!
