The Denver Hospice Scores Among the Top as a Hospice Provider in Metro Denver on the Medicare CAHPS Survey

The quality of patient care that hospices provide to patients and families can vary. Therefore, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that runs the Medicare program, created Hospice Compare to present patients, family members, and health care providers with data on quality measures reported on each provider.

Hospice Compare reports information on patient caregiver experiences from hospices across the nation allowing anyone to compare a hospice’s scores to national survey scores.

The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, or CAHPS, Survey is a national survey that scores patient caregiver experiences with hospice care on important measures.

Those measures include how well the hospice communicated with the family, treated the patient with respect, and how they rated the hospice overall, amongst others.

In the most recently reported CAHPS scores, The Denver Hospice presents as a top performer in the metro Denver area on all eight areas measured by CMS for the reporting period of July 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.
