MNHPC Member Review of MN State Hospice Report

This event is free and for MNHPC Members Only.

Please join us for an insightful virtual presentation on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, from 12:00–1:00 PM CDT, where we will review the latest Minnesota State Hospice Report prepared by Hospice Analytics. Dr. Cordt Kassner, founder and CEO of Hospice Analytics and a nationally recognized expert in hospice data analysis, quality measurement, and end-of-life care trends, will lead the session. Drawing from comprehensive Medicare claims data, he will present and interpret the most current key hospice metrics for Minnesota, including:

• Hospice utilization rates and trends

• Performance on national quality benchmarks from Care Compare (Medicare's Hospice Compare tool) and the National Hospice Locator

• Additional insights from claims-based analyses, cost reports, and relevant industry developments

This session will also touch on recent Minnesota-specific hospice news coverage, emerging policy implications, and how these metrics reflect both strengths and opportunities for improving high-quality end-of-life care in the state. Whether you're a hospice provider, policymaker, healthcare administrator, researcher, or advocate interested in serious illness care, this hour offers valuable, data-driven perspectives to inform strategy, benchmarking, and advocacy efforts
