HOPE
Ready Documentation, Built In
CMS replaced the Hospice Item Set with HOPE in October 2025 - adding new assessment timepoints, new quality measures, and new public reporting requirements.
Most hospice EMRs treat HOPE as a reporting add - on — a separate process bolted onto existing workflows that teams have to manage on top of their regular work. That means more forms, more manual steps, and more burden on clinical staff who are already stret ched. mumms approached HOPE completely differently. Instead of layering a new process on top of clinical work, we built HOPE directly into the workflow — so required data is captured as clinicians do what they already do. No extra steps. No separate forms. No chasing documentation after the fact. Your team’s workload doesn’t change.
Hummingbird handles it inside the existing clinical workflow. Required data is gathered and submitted automatically, so there's no separate process for your team to manage - no extra forms, no manual compilation, no chasing down documentation after the fact. HOPE compliance happens as part of how your team already works.
