Press Ganey Announces New Award to Recognize Excellence in Teamwork and Care Coordination

Press Ganey Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PGND) today announced it is
expanding its client recognition program to include an award
honoring an organization that demonstrates outstanding care
coordination and teamwork in the pursuit of delivering safe,
high-quality, compassionate care. The nomination process will
launch later this spring and the award recipient will be announced
at the 2016 Press Ganey National Client Conference, to be held Nov.
2–4 in Orlando, Fla.
“Due to increasing complexity and specialization in medicine
today, health care is a team sport; no individual clinician can
deliver the very best care on his or her own,” said Dr. Thomas H.
Lee, chief medical officer at Press Ganey. “Effective teamwork and
care coordination are essential to improving outcomes and reducing
patient suffering. When teamwork and care coordination are poor,
patients are frightened; when they are good, patients have peace of
mind.”
The importance of teamwork in the patient experience has been
identified in a Press Ganey study of HCAHPS survey results, which
indicates that patients’ perception of teamwork and the extent to
which staff work together to care for them are the largest
differentiating factors in how they experience hospital care.
Results also indicate that teamwork is important to care providers,
whose attitudes and perceptions about teamwork are a reflection of
their belief in the quality of the care they are providing, their
job satisfaction, their pride in the organization and their
likelihood to remain with the organization—factors that also have
an effect on the patient experience and outcomes.
Each year, Press Ganey recognizes a select group of its clients
with awards that recognize the organizations’ achievements in
improving the quality, safety and experience of care, providing a
positive and collaborative environment for employees and
physicians, and ultimately, in delivering exceptional patient
experiences. Award winners are recognized at Press Ganey's annual
National Client Conference.

Conference, please visit the event website.
