Cody Regional Health has been named a Top Agency of the 2019 HomeCare Elite, a recognition for the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. Cody Regional’s Home Health has received the award for the past four years.
The ranking is developed by ABILITY Network, an information technology company that works to simplify the administrative and clinical complexities of healthcare. It is sponsored by DecisionHealth, part of the H3.Group.
“We’re pleased to recognize Cody Regional Health for exemplifying best practice in patient care,” said Christine Lang, senior director for ABILITY Network. “Cody Regional Health’s home health professionals have demonstrated exceptional commitment to care quality and the patient experience.”
Carol Anders, director of Home Health and Hospice services at Cody Regional Health, said the staff’s dedication to delivering personal care and going the extra mile for patients has helped achieve the HomeCare Elite recognition in recent years.
“Our goal is to keep people out of the hospital or emergency room. We tell our patients to call our team if they need something and it’s not an emergency. Our patients know we are there for them,” Anders said.
Marci Geipe, product manager for Decision Health, said that Cody Regional Health’s “leadership and staff have placed a premium on the patient care your agency provides as showcased by your quality outcome scores. The entire community benefits from the compassion that your staff shows toward your patients, leading to cost savings for the entire healthcare system.”
HomeCare Elite agencies are determined by an analysis of performance measures in quality outcomes, best practices implementation, patient experience (HHCAHPS), quality improvement and consistency, and financial health. In order to be considered, an agency must be Medicare-certified and have data for at least three outcomes in Home Health Compare.
Out of 8,818 agencies considered, 2,207 are recognized on the 2019 HomeCare Elite winners list.
