Inc. (NASDAQ:AMED) care centers with SHPBest Awards, recognizing
agencies with consistently high-quality care.
Twenty-one care centers, including 18 home health care centers
and three hospice care centers, received Premier Performer awards
for ranking in the top 5 percent of all SHP clients. The remaining
90 care centers ranked in the top 20 percent of SHP clients,
earning Superior Performer awards.
“Nothing we do is possible without our incredible team members
delivering outstanding care in the home each and every day,” stated
Paul Kusserow, CEO and President. “Thanks to our dedicated family
of caregivers, Amedisys is truly living its strategy of achieving
clinical distinction.”
SHP has the largest HHCAHPS (Home Health Care Consumer
Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) benchmark in the
nation and one of the largest CAHPS Hospice benchmarks, placing the
vendor in a unique position to recognize companies that make
patient satisfaction a priority.
“SHP is proud to present the SHPBest awards to our
top-performing customers. We commend these organizations for their
continuous focus on delivering the highest quality of care to their
patients”, said Rob Paulsson, President of SHP.

SHP as the HHCAHPS and CAHPS Hospice survey vendor for each quarter
of the year being considered. All award recipients must also have
scored better than or equal to the SHP national average throughout
the period for each of the publicly reported quality measure
domains.
