Thibodaux, LA, November 16, 2012 - Thibodaux Regional Health System is
proud to announce that its Home Health Center has been named to the Top
100 of the 2012 HomeCare Elite™, a compilation of the top-performing
home health agencies in the United States. Now in its seventh year, the
HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of agencies and further highlights
the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall. Winners are ranked by an analysis
of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, process
measure implementation, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS), quality
improvement, and financial performance.
“The 2012 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing
patient-centered care and serving as leaders in the home health community.
Their success offers data-driven proof of being well-managed and high
quality care providers to hospitals, managed care organizations, ACOs,
and other potential referral partners across the healthcare continuum,”
said Susan L. Henricks, President and COO of National Research Corporation,
the parent company of OCS HomeCare. “Again, this year, we updated
our methodology to reflect the rapidly evolving quality-focused healthcare
landscape and national value-based purchasing trends. We congratulate
the Home Health Center of Thibodaux Regionalon being one of the top 100 home care agencies in the country.”
“We are very proud of this prestigious recognition and will continue
to provide our patients with the highest quality care available. Each
team member at the Home Health Center of Thibodaux Regional strives to
maintain our goal of Patient Centered Excellence in all that we do,”
said, Earl Hernandez, Director of the Home Health Center of Thibodaux Regional.
“HomeCare Elite recognition continues to gain importance given the
increased regulatory mandates and the threat of shrinking reimbursement
revenue. Home health agencies that have earned recognition among the HomeCare
Elite demonstrated that they not only can adapt to an evolving marketplace
but continue to excel in clinical, patient experience, quality improvement,
and financial outcomes,” said Marci Heydt, Product Manager for the
post-acute care business group of DecisionHealth.
The HomeCare Elite is the only performance recognition of its kind in the
home health profession. The 2012 HomeCare Elite is co-sponsored by National
Research Corporation (also known as OCS HomeCare), the leading provider
of cross-continuum healthcare metrics and analytics, and DecisionHealth,
the publisher of the industry’s most respected independent newsletter
Home Health Line. The data used for this analysis were compiled from publicly available
information. The entire list of 2012 HomeCare Elite agencies can be downloaded
