Start of Care Rating

What is the Start of Care Rating?
This measures how well hospices conduct comprehensive assessments when patients first enter care. It evaluates whether key areas like pain management, breathing issues, treatment preferences, and patient values are properly addressed from day one.

How are scores calculated?
Medicare tracks the percentage of new patients who receive proper screening and assessment in 7 key areas: treatment preferences, beliefs/values, pain screening, pain assessment, breathing problems, breathing treatment, and bowel care for opioid patients.

Why this matters:
Proper start-of-care assessment ensures patients receive personalized care from day one, better pain management, respect for their values and preferences, and comprehensive symptom control - leading to better comfort and quality of life throughout their hospice journey.

Scoring:
Higher percentages mean more patients received proper assessment in each area. The composite score combines all 7 areas to show overall assessment quality.
