MV Times: Hospice and Palliative Care gets deficiency-free reaccreditation

Hospice and Palliative Care of Martha’s Vineyard, a nonprofit community-based hospice serving the Island community since 1981, has received a deficiency-free reaccreditation survey from Community Healthcare Accreditation Partner (CHAP). The survey found the hospice in complete compliance with all federal and state quality, safety, and patient-care standards. CHAP surveys are rigorous and independent reviews required for hospice programs to participate in Medicare. A deficiency-free result is a significant achievement that demonstrates that every area of care and operations meets or exceeds expectations.
