There are eight quality measures (QMs) that are derived from the Hospice Item Set (HIS). This module will introduce the learner to three of these QMs: Treatment Preferences, Beliefs and Values Addressed, and Hospice and Palliative Care Composite Process Measure: Comprehensive Assessment at Admission. It is recommended that HIS: Quality Measures Part 1 be reviewed before reviewing this module to better understand the basics of QM sampling, calculations, and the other five QMs. The goal of this course is to provide managers, leaders, and nursing professionals in hospice with an introduction to three of the HIS quality measures.
