**RECORDED.** CMS withheld the Hospice Visits in the Last Days of Life (HVLDL) measure for PROVIDENCE HOSPICE SPOKANE (footnote 2) — typically indicates too few patients to report reliably. A withheld measure is not a negative rating; it is the absence of data due to small sample size.

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

**INTERPRETATION.** This page presents CMS Hospice Provider Data for PROVIDENCE HOSPICE SPOKANE — HVLDL, Hospice Care Index, process measures, and CAHPS family survey results. It informs and compares; it does NOT rate, rank, or recommend PROVIDENCE HOSPICE SPOKANE 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 501554).

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.

Every claim above carries a four-status warrant (RECORDED / MODELED / DERIVED / INTERPRETATION) and a named source you can re-fetch — this is a research object, not a flat fact. Structured: `https://care-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/care/hospice/501554.jsonld`
