The compliance score CMS keeps on your hospice — decoded.

Zero PHI, by design
We work from CMS agency-level data and the reports you upload — never patient identifiers. No PHI means no HIPAA exposure for the data we hold.
Secure per-clinic access
Each hospice gets its own portal with hashed credentials, encrypted sessions, and multi-factor authentication support.
Sourced straight from CMS
SSVI figures come directly from the CMS-1851-P file. Every measure we show reconciles to your published score.
The things owners ask first.
Do you store any patient data?+
No. Connect Shield works entirely from CMS agency-level claims data and the reports you upload — never patient names, diagnoses, or identifiers. There is no PHI in the platform, which keeps you outside HIPAA exposure for the data we hold.
Where does the SSVI score come from?+
Directly from the CMS Service and Spending Variation Index file published with the FY2027 Hospice Wage Index proposed rule (CMS-1851-P). We load every scored US hospice and show your exact published number, not an estimate.
Is the score you show the real CMS number?+
Yes. For any CCN in the CMS file we display the published FY2025 and FY2024 scores. Every one of the eight utilization flags we show reconciles to the CMS-published utilization score, so the breakdown always adds up to your official number.
How do I get an account?+
Accounts are provisioned per clinic. Book a demo and we set up your secure portal, load your CCN, and walk your team through the dashboard.
How is my login secured?+
Authentication runs on managed infrastructure with hashed credentials, encrypted sessions, and support for multi-factor authentication. Each clinic sees only its own data.
