These resources provide information regarding the Hospice Quality Reporting Program (HQRP), mandated by the Affordable Care Act of 2010. Section 3004 of the Affordable Care Act directs the Secretary to establish quality reporting requirements for hospice programs. The Hospice Quality Reporting Program includes data submitted by hospices through the Hospice Item Set (HIS) data collection tool (through September 30, 2025)/Hospice Outcomes and Patient Evaluation (HOPE) data collection tool (beginning October 1, 2025), administrative data from Medicare Fee-For-Service claims, and the Hospice Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) Survey.
