Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) March 24, 2016 -- Team Select in Home Care today announced that it has been named a Top Agency of the 2015 HomeCare Elite™, a recognition of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Now in its tenth 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 9,718 agencies considered, 2,431 are elite.
The award is sponsored by OCS HomeCare by National Research Corporation, the leading provider of home health and hospice metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth, publisher of the most respected independent publication in the home care profession, Home Health Line.
“The 2015 HomeCare Elite winners deserve credit for demonstrating high-quality care in their communities.

Team Select Home Care’s President, Mike Lovell, credits data driven innovation, combined with humility and employee appreciation, as the key to Team Select’s ability to achieve recognition as one of the HomeCare Elite. "We have gone outside of our industry to find talent with fresh ideas and the knowledge to utilize our vast trove of patient data in seeking new methods for driving positive outcomes. By being nice, and having fun, at the same time, has allowed to create something truly unique and rewarding. That is the key to our success," he says.

As CMS ramps up its nationwide initiatives to reward home care agencies for the quality of care they provide, this is yet another way to acknowledge those agencies that have demonstrated their commitment to improving patient care at lower costs.
