The National Association for Home Care and Hospice (NAHC) has learned that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is launching a Hospice CAHPS Survey Mode Experiment. CMS is seeking information to help in the development of adjustors that will allow for better standardization across hospices that participate in the CAHPS survey. The experiment seeks to adjust accordingly to the survey mode used by the different hospices: mail, telephone, or mixed mode. CMS is working with the RAND Corporation on the project and outreach by both CMS and RAND is currently being made to selected hospices relative to participation.
