A big change is coming to hospice care.

As of October 1, 2025, hospices must complete multiple HOPE assessments on very tight schedules. Missing a deadline isn’t just paperwork — it can affect your HQRP quality scores and your reputation.

HOPE Assessment Requirements
Include:

Admission: within first 5 days
SFV: within 2 days if moderate/severe symptoms noted (after Admission)
HUV1: days 6–15
SFV: within 2 days if moderate/severe symptoms noted (after HUV1)
HUV2: days 16–30
SFV: within 2 days if moderate/severe symptoms noted (after HUV2)
Discharge Assessment

Hospices everywhere are saying the same thing

“October 2025 is getting closer & closer… and I don’t think my team will be ready in time.”

 “We’re already stretched thin. Where are we supposed to find the hours?”

“The 90% submission rule keeps me up at night. One technical glitch, and we’re looking at a 4% payment cut.”

That’s why we started building

Vitalis HOPE

Our mission is simple: take the stress out of HOPE compliance, so your staff can focus on what matters most — patient care. And we’d love to share the solution with you in detail.

So what does the solution
actually look like?

Standout feature

Patient Census Dashboard

See every patient’s HOPE timeline in one place. No more spreadsheets, guessing, or missed deadlines — just a clear view of where each patient stands.

Automated
Alerts

Stay on top of every HOPE task. Your team sees what visits are coming up and which need attention. Nurses get timely reminders to sync PointCare so documentation and assessments flow into the system on time — greatly increasing the likelihood that SFVs happen within the required timeframe.

Visit
Confirmations 

Send and receive confirmations before every visit. Patient-triggered cancellations and missed confirmations are automatically recorded, giving you a clear audit trail of hospice intent to visit. This protects HQRP scores, even when visits can’t happen.

“I never thought it was possible, but…
I know exactly where every patient is
in the HOPE process.”
That’s the kind of ease Vitalis Hope is built to give you.
So your team can focus fully on patients, not paperwork.

Be ready for October.
