Recognition Based on High Patient Satisfaction Survey Scores

I congratulate Pine Pointe, Atrium Health Navicent on its success in achieving this highest of honors," said Misty Skinner, Executive Vice President of Services at HEALTHCAREfirst.
Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of October 2018 through September 2019. Award recipients were identified by evaluating performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures. Performance scores were aggregated from all completed surveys and were compared on a question- by-question basis to a National Performance Score calculated from all hospices contained in the HEALTHCAREfirst's Hospice CAHPS database. Hospice Honors recipients include those hospices scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 20 of the evaluated questions.
