The California Department of Health has issued a new All Facilities Letter (AFL) to hospice providers, notifying them of a new web-based data collection tool for the mandatory annual reporting required for participants in the Palliative Care Pilot Program (PCPP). The PCPP allows licensed hospice providers to offer palliative care to patients with a serious illness, regardless of their estimated life expectancy. The new data collection tool has been developed by the Center for Health Care Quality (CHCQ) to facilitate reporting. Hospice providers participating in the PCPP must submit the required information using this reporting tool once a year, with deadlines on January 1, 2019, January 1, 2020, and January 1, 2021. The reporting link will be available through the California Department of Public Health's website. Failure to comply with the mandatory reporting provisions outlined in the AFL may result in legal consequences.
