This indicates that scores estimated using 3 quarters of data continue to capture provider-level differences and that admission-level scores remain consistent within hospices.

quarters. Over 93 percent of hospices
remain in the same quintile, suggesting that the ranking of hospices is fairly stable between the SPR and CAR
scenarios.
