Central Valley Home Health has been named to the Top 500 of the 2016 HomeCare
Elite®, a recognition of the top-performing home health agencies in
the United States. For more than ten years, HomeCare Elite has annually
identified the top 25 percent of agencies and highlights the top 100 and
top 500 agencies overall.
The ranking is developed by ABILITY® Network, a leading information
technology company helping providers and payers simplify the administrative
and clinical complexities of healthcare; and sponsored by DecisionHealth,
publisher of: Home Health Line, The Complete Home Health ICD-10-CM Diagnosis
Coding Manual and The Home Health Coding Center.
“Improving quality of care and the patient experience continue to
underpin a rapidly evolving healthcare environment,” said Christine
Lang, Senior Director, Product Management, for ABILITY Network. “At
the same time tracking, measuring and interpreting data that support these
efforts is becoming more complex. The 2016 HomeCare Elite winners have
demonstrated the highest-quality care in their communities, which is a
remarkable achievement. We congratulate Central Valley Home Health on
being one of the top 500 home care agencies in the country.”
“We are proud to recognize the top 500 HomeCare Elite agencies for
demonstrating a commitment to improving quality patient care at low costs.
The clinical best practices and data tracking skills these agencies have
implemented can position them for future success in government programs
such as value-based purchasing and star ratings,” said Marci Heydt,
Senior Content Manager, DecisionHealth.
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 9,406 agencies considered, 2,353 are recognized on the
2016 HomeCare Elite winners list overall.
