The HOPE Tool will replace HIS effective October 1, 2025. The HOPE Tool requirement is designed to collect patient specific data in real-time based on interactions with patient and family/caregiver, and with flexibility to accommodate patients with varying clinical needs.

This bundled series is designed to help Hospice providers better understand the HOPE tool submission requirement. This includes required timepoints and

submission timeframes including dataset items for accurate completion. CMS considers it the responsibility of the Hospice provider to complete the HOPE Tool
