HART

HART (Hospice Abstraction Reporting Tool) is a Java based software application that provides an option for Hospice facilities to collect and maintain facility, patient and HIS Record information for subsequent submission to the appropriate national data repository.

The HART User Tool will no longer be available to download as of October 7, 2025. If you already have HART downloaded and available, you can continue to submit Hospice Item Set (HIS) records with Target Dates prior to October 1, 2025, using HART to create the records through February 15, 2026. Beginning February 16, 2026, HIS records are no longer accepted.
