Fonteum Care Compare · Hospice

Hospice Compare: 6,943 loaded Medicare-certified hospice records — including the May 2026 → February 2028 CAHPS measure-removal gap Fonteum maps explicitly.

This page shows agency identity, ownership type, and CMS region when present in the CMS Hospice General Information file observed May 7, 2026, with notes on the May 2026 measure change. It does not represent every Medicare-certified hospice, and fields can be absent.

Headline figure

The CMS Hospice QRP removed the “Training Family to Care for Patient” CAHPS item from public reporting in May 2026 — and won't restore it until February 2028. Fonteum documents the gap, the timeline, and what remains available across 6,943 Medicare-certified hospices in the current snapshot (69.0% for-profit by agency count).

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
