Two Honorees Share Their Work
The NHPCO Quality and Standards Committee held its second annual “Quality on Display”
event at the November 2012 Clinical Team Conference.
In light of the hospice quality reporting requirements (and the October 1, 2012 deadline to begin
data collection), the Committee asked providers to share—on 4-by-8-foot visual displays—how
they were preparing their organizations and staff.
NewsLine is proud to share the work of BAYADA Hospice in Moorestown, NJ, and Hospice of
the Bluegrass in Lexington, KY.
Both organizations chose to showcase their strategies for implementation of the NHPCO
Comfortable Dying Measure (NQF 0209), one of the two measures currently required for quality
reporting to CMS. While their visual displays cannot be duplicated here, each organization has
graciously created a PDF presentation that outlines its strategy and implementation process.
