Hospice metrics, traced to their CMS source.
A structured profile of any U.S. hospice: quality components, a derived live-discharge rate with the denominator underneath it, ownership and change-of-control history, the inspection record, and what families said afterward. Every figure is labeled with its source, and you can rebuild any of it from public CMS data.
How the reports are built
Every figure has a source
Each number is labeled CMS-PUBLISHED (read directly from a CMS file) or PRODUCT-COMPUTED (derived here from public sources, shown with its denominator).
Denominators, always
You never get a rate without the count behind it. A live-discharge rate arrives with both counts that built it and a plain note on how far it can be pushed.
Benchmarked
Every facility component is read against the national and state figures, so you always know what counts as ordinary before you read a number.
Reproducible
Every report lists the exact CMS releases it used, each with a checksum, so you can regenerate it and account for it years later.
What a report contains
| Section | Source |
|---|---|
| Derived live-discharge rate vs national benchmark, with denominator and caveat | PRODUCT-COMPUTED |
| Discharge-pattern components vs national and state, with CMS percentiles | CMS-PUBLISHED |
| Ownership, profit status, incorporation, private-equity and chain flags | CMS-PUBLISHED |
| Change-of-control history across quarterly snapshots | PRODUCT-COMPUTED |
| Inspection record: survey citations by severity, Immediate Jeopardy, surveyor | CMS-PUBLISHED |
| Family-experience (CAHPS) context, with its sampling caveat | CMS-PUBLISHED |
Who uses it
Mostly plaintiff-side counsel working False Claims Act and hospice-fraud matters, sizing up a lead they already have. Whichever firm orders it, the report body is built the same way. Families get a separate plain-language guide, free.
