CMS Releases Hospice HOPE Resources

CMS has recently updated the CMS HOPE website with resources to help Hospice agencies prepare for implementation of the new HOPE assessment instrument which will be effective October, 1 2025.  These updated resources include the finalized HOPE manual, data that will be collected at the required time points, and an all-item set change table to help agencies educate staff on changes from the current HIS items set items to the new HOPE items.  Read more on the CMS HOPE website about these important changes that will be coming.
