When GIP is not enough: Revocation of hospice to meet patient goals
Journal of Pain and Symptom Management; by Margaret Krasne, Alden Rinaldi, Richard Leiter; 5/25
In 2021, 6.3% of hospice discharges were due to beneficiary revocation. The Hospice Care Index, a quality metric impacting hospice reimbursement, penalizes hospices for revocations, regardless of the reason for revocation. We will review the literature on reasons for hospice revocation, factors affecting revocation rates, the impact of revocation on quality metrics, and strategies for optimizing revocation rates.
