(June 2, 2016) Coastal Hospice has been recognized for excellence, as reported by the families of patients in its care.
Deyta Analytics, a division of HEALTHCAREfirst, named Coastal Hospice a recipient of the 2016 Hospice Honors Elite Award in April during the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s Management Leadership Conference in National Harbor, Maryland. Hospice Honors recognizes hospices nationwide that provide the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view.
Deyta Analytics surveys families and caregivers of patients after their passing to evaluate the quality of the hospice services they received. They choose the recipients of the Hospice Honors Awards by evaluating the hospice’s performance on a set of 24 quality indicators and comparing the results to all partnering hospices in the nationwide Deyta Analytics database.
“Hospice Honors is a landmark compilation of hospices that provide the best patient and caregiver experiences,” said Bobby Robertson, president and CEO of HEALTHCAREfirst. “I am extremely proud of Coastal Hospice for achieving this highest of honors, and I congratulate them on their success.”
“Receiving an award based on the opinions of the families we serve is the highest honor we can achieve,” said Alane Capen, president of Coastal Hospice. “Our mission is to provide the best medical care in the most compassionate way to the patients in our service, and it is rewarding to hear that our families feel we are fulfilling that mission.”
