CMS will also release two, short, self-directed series of educational modules in the near future.

  • The first series (comprised of 5 modules) focuses on helping providers navigate the websites for the HQRP. This includes the CMS HQRP website, the CAHPS survey website, and the QTSO website. CMS has recently made updates to the organization of the HQRP website to improve flow and organization. This first series will include information on navigating the newly re-designed CMS HQRP website.
  • The second series (comprised of 8 modules) will focus on coding guidance for the HIS. Based on questions frequently asked on the Hospice Quality Help Desk, CMS has produced refined coding guidance for specific HIS items. This series will cover refined guidance and will include examples for each section of the HIS.
