This section describes the public reporting of  CAHPS Hospice Survey results on the Care Compare tool on Medicare.gov (https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/). All currently active hospices are reported on the Care Compare tool and in the accompanying downloadable database.

CAHPS Hospice Survey measure scores are calculated across eight rolling quarters and are published quarterly for all hospices with 30 or more completed surveys over the reporting period. Information describing the calculation of CAHPS Hospice Survey scores and the case-mix adjustment methods for the CAHPS Hospice Survey measures is available here.

Beginning with the August 2022 refresh of Care Compare, a Family Caregiver Survey Rating summary Star Rating will be publicly reported for all hospices with 75 or more completed surveys over the reporting period. Star Ratings will be updated every other quarter. Information describing the calculation of CAHPS Hospice Survey Star Ratings is available here.
