We recommend that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: promote hospices’ compliance with the condition-of-participation standard that requires registered nurses to visit hospice beneficiaries’ homes at least once every 14 days to assess the quality of care and services provided by hospice aides, which could include: o working with State survey agencies and accreditation organizations to increase emphasis on oversight of this requirement, o educating hospices about the requirements associated with this standard, and o making this standard a quality measure.
