Hospice exclusions differ from homecare exclusions. Patients will only be excluded from the CAHPS Survey if the Exclude from CAHPS checkbox is selected. Following are the reasons for hospice exclusion:
§ Expired Less than 48 hours = Patient expired less than 48 hours following the last admission to hospice care. (Enterprise Edition determines that a patient is deceased based on the patient status. If a patient is expired, ensure that the expired checkbox is selected and the patient status has been changed).
§ Live Discharge = Patient status is something other than 20, 40, 41 and 42.
§ No Publicity= Caregiver has “Exclude from CAHPS”
§ Under 18 years old = Patient is less than 18 years old during the sample month.
● Previous Admission Information Copied
8. Make the appropriate selections under Initial Location/Level of Care.
9. If the hospice patient has an active MAR (Medication Administration Record), click the MAR Active checkbox and then select the appropriate option from the Room/Bed field.
● If the MAR Active box is checked in the Level/Location of Care screen, the software will automatically check the MAR Active box in the Admission screen.
● When the MAR Active box is unchecked (for patients with MAR enabled) and the user attempts to save, the software will prompt the user to either confirm or cancel the action.
