10 out of 10
CMS builds this single score out of ten separate indicators drawn from claims. A provider earns a point for each indicator where it is not an outlier against national thresholds. This one scores at or near the top of the scale.
| Indicator | This provider | Read as |
|---|---|---|
| Visits near death | 90.0% | higher is better |
| Gaps in nursing visits | 51.5% | lower is better |
| Early live discharges | 6.4% | lower is better |
| Late live discharges | 47.4% | lower is better |
| Burdensome transitions, Type 1 | 3.5% | lower is better |
| Burdensome transitions, Type 2 | 0.6% | lower is better |
| Skilled nursing minutes on weekends | 6.5% | higher is better |
| Nurse care minutes per routine home care days | 12.70 min | higher is better |
| CHC/GIP provided | 0.1% | higher is better |
| Per-beneficiary spending | $17,815 | context, not a quality score |
Why live discharges matter. Hospice is for people expected to die within six months. A patient leaving hospice alive is sometimes the right outcome — they got better, or chose to resume curative treatment. But an unusually high rate can also indicate patients were enrolled who did not qualify, or were discharged when their care became expensive. CMS publishes early and late live-discharge rates for exactly this reason. Treat a high number as a question to ask, not a verdict.
