Why Choose Elara Caring?

Hospice Quality

Hospice Visits Last Days of Life (HVLDL) Elara 68% vs National Average of 67.0%

The HVLDL measure assesses hospice staff visits to patients at the end of life. This measure is constructed from Medicare hospice claims records. It indicates the hospice provider’s proportion of patients who have received in-person visits from a registered nurse or medical social worker on at least two out of the final three days of the patient’s life.

Hospice Care Index (HCI) – Visits Near Death – Elara 95% vs National Average of 92.6%

The Hospice Care Index (HCI) captures care processes occurring throughout the hospice stay, between admission and discharge. The HCI is a single measure comprising ten indicators calculated from Medicare claims data.

The index design of the HCI simultaneously monitors all ten indicators. Collectively these indicators represent different aspects of hospice service and thereby characterize hospices comprehensively, rather than on just a single care dimension. Each indicator equally affects the single HCI score, reflecting the equal importance of each aspect of care delivered from admission to discharge.
