The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be hosting a 1-day training event for Hospice providers on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, at the Hilton Baltimore 401 West Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201. 
The training will start at 8:30 a.m. ET and end at 4:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 18, 2016.  There will be an optional Meet-and-Greet with CMS staff and presenters following the training event from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. ET for those individuals participating in-person.
The focus of this train-the-trainer event will be to provide hospice providers with an understanding of the Hospice Quality Reporting Program (HQRP). Included in the training will be upcoming data collection instructions and updates associated with the changes in the Hospice Item Set (HIS) which will become effective on April 1, 2017, in addition to the two new HIS-based quality measures that will be incorporated into the HQRP in 2017. The training will also include a focus on the Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey and offer important insights into frequently asked questions regarding the HQRP. This important training will be open to all hospice providers, associations, and organizations.
Registration for the in-person training is limited to 250 people on a first-come, first-served basis.
