Section Description

Date Range

Select the start and end dates of the reporting period to return a list of all patients who received hospice care within that date range.

Group By

Select Patient to see a list of all patients and their associated admissions, or select Patient Class to see a list of all patients organized by class, for example Hospice (HO) or Inpatient Unit (IU). Patient classes are set in Administration > General > PatientClasses.

Options

If you select Multiple Business Unit Consolidation, click the Consolidation tab, and select the business units, branches, teams, regions, and patient classes of the patients to include in the report. Business units are set in Administration > Configuration > BusinessUnits. Branches are set in Administration > Business Units > Branches. Regions are agency-specific and set in Administration > Configuration > BusinessUnits > Basic > Region.

Day Count Range

Leave the EndDay box blank to see all patients who received hospice care during the date range. To identify only the clients who are eligible for the higher reimbursement, enter 60 in the End Day field, and the report returns only the clients who fall within the specified date range. To see an example of this setting, see the Define tab of the Patient Day Count Report screenshot below.

Patients

Select All Patients to include every hospice patient in the report, or you can select IndividualPatients and then click Select to search for the patients that you want to include in the report.
