# TRADITIONAL HOSPICE — hospice quality (CMS Hospice Provider Data)

CMS Hospice Provider Data for TRADITIONAL HOSPICE (CCN 391701), DUNMORE, PA: HVLDL 76% visits-in-last-days, HCI 8/10, CAHPS 95% recommend, process composite 94%. RECORDED CMS-published quality measures. Informs and compares — not a ranking or recommendation. CC0.

## Claims

### 76% of TRADITIONAL HOSPICE's patients received a visit in their last three days of life (national median 61%)

**RECORDED.** 76% of patients discharged from TRADITIONAL HOSPICE received a hospice visit in their final three days of life (n=187). National median: 61%. HVLDL is a claims-based process measure — it is NOT risk-adjusted; it is also influenced by sudden deaths and very-late referrals, so a lower rate is not by itself proof of worse end-of-life staffing. RECORDED CMS-published measure (occurred=true; adjudged=true — CMS published it).

**RECORDED.** The CMS Hospice Care Index for TRADITIONAL HOSPICE is 8/10 (national median 9/10).

### What this hospice quality record is — and is NOT

**INTERPRETATION.** This page presents CMS Hospice Provider Data for TRADITIONAL HOSPICE — HVLDL, Hospice Care Index, process measures, and CAHPS family survey results. It informs and compares; it does NOT rate, rank, or recommend TRADITIONAL HOSPICE for an individual's situation. The CAHPS figures are case-mix & mode adjusted (comparable across hospices); the HVLDL and process figures are not adjusted and measure what was done/documented. Talk with the hospice and your doctor; verify at https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/ (CCN 391701).

Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an event) and adjudged=FALSE (an in-house reading, not an authority's verdict) — the LOWEST-warrant claim here. A flat representation would render this identically to the official facts; the four-status does not.
