Home Health Agency Honored

The Bellevue Hospital’s (TBH) Home Health Agency was recently honored by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) with re-certification, after being found compliant with all applicable Medicare program requirements.
 
The survey was completed in December of 2011 and the re-certification is good for three years. TBH’s Home Health Agency was declared deficiency-free on the survey, indicating “a significant effort on the part of the administration and staff,” according to Rebecca S. Maust, Chief, Division of Quality Assurance, State Survey Director, ODH. “This is an accomplishment for which the staff at TBH Home Health can be justifiably proud.”
 
This is the second honor for TBH’s Home Health Agency in the past few months, after HomeCare Elite ranked the local agency among the Top 25 percent of home health providers in the country for 2011. This is a compilation of the most successful Medicare-certified home health care providers in the United States. This annual review identifies the top 25 percent of agencies, ranked by an analysis of performance measures in quality outcomes, quality improvement and financial performance. 
 
The 2011 HomeCare Elite also indicates those providers who are included in the Top 100 and Top 500 of providers nationwide. The data used for this analysis was compiled from publicly available information.
