Where to document
- HIS and HOPE are documented in the same location in Barnestorm (no changes to menu location).
- Selecting the Hospice Item Set screen will ask if you want to use the HOPE or HIS feature when patient's admit date is prior to 10/1/2025.
- The HOPE Grid will trigger records that are due; ie. HUV1 and HUV2 will appear on and after the date due.
NEW → Validation for HOPE Assessments
- Barnestorm can direct you to the Validation Utility Tool (VUT) before upload to catch errors early.
Where to export
- Create the file the same way as before: Admin → Export Hospice (HIS).
- HIS can be submitted using QIES and HOPE through iQIES. (Barnestorm does not provide submission steps.)
