Complete Home Care Named as a Top Agency of the 2013 HomeCare Elite
Boca Raton, FL. (PRWEB) November 14, 2013 -- Complete Home Care today announced that it has been named a Top Agency of the 2013 HomeCare Elite™, recognition of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Now in its eighth year, the HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, best practice (process measure) implementation, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS®), quality improvement and consistency, and financial performance. In order to be considered, an agency must be Medicare-certified and have data for at least one outcome in Home Health Compare. Out of 9,969 agencies considered, 2,496 are elite.
The award is sponsored by OCS HomeCare by National Research Corporation, the leading provider of home health metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth, publisher of the most respected independent newsletter in the home health profession, Home Health Line.
“The 2013 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing patient-centered care and serving as leaders in the home health community. Their success is a tribute that managing healthcare data and utilizing it for improvement initiatives lead to high quality care, and we recognize them for their outstanding achievements,” said Mary Oakes, senior vice president of post-acute at National Research. “We congratulate Complete Home Care on being recognized as a top home care agency.”
Complete Home Care, Jason Dynan Managing Director and Co-Founder, credits his passionate team members and their constant pursuit to put their patient’s needs first to achieve recognition as one of the HomeCare Elite. "I am very proud to have this distinction bestowed on our agency. The healthcare environment is shifting to preventive care something that we have been embracing from the start. A safe transition from institutional care to the home setting is crucial. We have reduced readmission rates across the board for every hospital we serve. At Complete Home Care we are always striving to create ways to improve the health of our patients and provide value for our referral sources." said Jason Dynan.
“HomeCare Elite recognition is a significant acknowledgement. The shift from fee-for-service to pay-for-performance payment models is reshaping the healthcare profession. And home health is proving to be an integral part of the continuum. In the face of value-based purchasing and care delivery model changes, the metrics that make up HomeCare Elite methodology shine an accountable light on an industry that may be the lynch pin to achieving affordable care at home,” said Marci Heydt, Product Manager for the post-acute care business group of DecisionHealth.
