Community Health Professionals has been named a 2012 HHCAHPS Honors recipient, a prestigious award recognizing home health agencies that provide the best patient experience.

This annual honor acknowledges the top 20 percent of agencies that continuously provide the highest level of satisfaction through their care as measured from the patient’s point of view. The highest performing agencies are identified and ranked by analyzing satisfaction measures covering both performance and improvement of care over a 12-month period.

The rankings are presented by Deyta, LLC, a company that provides hospice and home health care satisfaction and quality measurement.
“The HHCAHPS Honors defines a new standard of excellence in the patient experience for home health agencies,” said Bill Bassett, Deyta  Vice  President  of Home Health. “Identifying the  top-performers  in the home health  industry is  our way  of   recognizing  agencies that  are  dedicated   to  providing  high  quality care  in  a patient-centered approach.”

Rankings were compiled from survey results of over 1,800 home health agencies from April 2011 to March 2012. CHP is one of only nine home health and hospice agencies from Ohio to receive this honor out of 241 nationwide recipients.

“A positive patient experience is important not only to our success as an agency, but also to successful outcomes for our patients,” said Brent Tow, President/CEO of Community Health Professionals. “This award is a direct reflection of our staff’s dedication and commitment to the well-being of the patients and families we serve. We are excited to have our patient satisfaction rankings among such an elite group of recipients.”

CHP is a nonprofit organization with nine offices throughout northwest and west central Ohio, including Delphos.
