Seattle, WA and Gaithersburg, MD (October 16, 2008) – DecisionHealth® are pleased to announce the 2008 HomeCare Elite™, the 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 2008 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.
"The HomeCare Elite has become the industry standard for identifying agencies that perform at the highest level," says Nancy Buller, Senior Director of Marketing Communications at OCS. "We congratulate the 2008 HomeCare Elite for their continued success and commitment to both high quality and strong financial performance."
HomeCare Elite winner and OCS client, Parkview Homecare in Pueblo, Colorado, uses its ranking in the top 100 for three years in a row as a way to market its services. "One thing we make sure to promote is that we are in the top 100," said Keleah Nardini, Parkview's director of home care.
