Hospice: Statistics and Data

The Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) regularly investigates hospices. These are called surveys. Surveys ensure hospices follow all state and federal rules.

Surveys are performed:

  • When complaints are filed against a hospice.
  • When self-reported complaints are filed.
  • When a hospice needs to renew a license or certification.

When surveys show that a hospice isn't following all rules, they are issued a citation. Citations are written on a document called statements of deficiency. Citations explain what rule was broken.
