Abstract
Given the limited ability of hospice patients to assess, monitor, and respond to substandard care, quality oversight has an important role to play in the hospice sector. The IMPACT Act of 2014 required that agencies be recertified at least every three years, but it did not otherwise alter hospice quality oversight.
