Nightingale Home Healthcare of Indiana Named as Prestigious 2013 HHCAHPS HonorsTM Recipient
Carmel, IN, Nov. 22, 2013 — Nightingale Home Healthcare has been named a 2013 HHCAHPS Honors recipient, a prestigious award recognizing those home health agencies that provide the best patient experience.
Established by Deyta, this prestigious annual honor recognizes 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. HHCAHPS Honors acknowledges the highest performing agencies ranked by analyzing satisfaction measures covering both performance and improvement of care over a twelve-month period.
Deyta used the HHCAHPS survey results from over 1,200 eligible home health agencies contained in its HHCAHPS database with an evaluation period of April 2012 to March 2013. Two domains of performance were used in the calculations covering the nineteen questions that comprise the five publicly reported HHCAHPS measures found on Home Health Compare. Qualifications for eligibility included those HHAs that were compliant and partnered with Deyta for the evaluation period.
Nightingale has been providing the highest level of skilled care that is both patient and family focused since 1996. The company was one of the first to provide telemedicine—monitoring of a patient’s vital signs, which has resulted in a reduction of re-hospitalization and almost instantaneous change in a patient’s condition.
Today, Nightingale provides customized programs for post- hospitalized patients recovering from various orthopedic surgeries through its TeleRehab technology. It is also a “paperless” organization, which allows for total coordination of care between staff and the patient’s physician. Nightingale provides 24/7 care including holidays and weekends and is very proud that a “No Voicemail” system is provided. When calling for assistance everyone is greeted by a person who can assist him or her instantly. Each of these services has resulted in improved patient outcome.
President and Founder, Dr. Dev Brar, credits the company’s ability to keep up with home care technology and the hiring of health care professionals with impeccable credentials for its success. Every employee is required to fulfill the company mission statement, which is putting the patient first, no matter what. There is a zero tolerance policy when it comes to patient care. Only the best will do.
Nightingale Home Healthcare is located at 1036 S. Rangeline Road, Carmel, IN 46032. A complete listing of Nightingale’s services may be found at www.homecareforyou.com or by calling (317) 334-7777, or toll free- 866-334-7777, where a friendly voice will greet you and direct you to the person you need.
