It's a celebration! Celtic Home Health of marion has been named a Top Agency of the 2016 HomeCare Elite. Come celebrate on Monday, February 20 at 8:30 a.m. at the Marion office. 

Celtic Home Health (Previously VNA-TIP) today announced that it has been named a Top Agency of the 2016 HomeCare Elite®, a recognition of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States. For more than ten years, HomeCare Elite has annually identified the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified agencies and highlights the top 100 and top 500 agencies overall.
 
The ranking is developed by ABILITY® Network, a leading information technology company helping providers and payers simplify the administrative and clinical complexities of healthcare; and sponsored by DecisionHealth, publisher of: Home Health Line, The Complete Home Health ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Coding Manual and The Home Health Coding Center.
 
“Improving quality of care and the patient experience continue to underpin a rapidly evolving healthcare environment,” said Christine Lang, Senior Director, Product Management, for ABILITY Network. “At the same time tracking, measuring and interpreting data that support these efforts is becoming more complex. The 2016 HomeCare Elite winners have demonstrated the highest-quality care in their communities, which is a remarkable achievement. We congratulate Celtic Home Health on being one of the top home care agencies in the country.”
 
Chris Koniak, Home Health Operations Manager of Celtic Home Health, credits the clinician’s commitment to deliver exceptional patient care and the use of technology such as Telemonitoring with the agency’s ability to achieve recognition as one of the HomeCare Elite. “Through innovation and clinical excellence our patients have great outcomes and less likely to return to the hospital.  Our patient’s experience is equally important and our Marion office ranks among the top in the state and nation for patient satisfaction,” said Cherie Ismail, Business Development Director.
 
 
 
“We are proud to recognize the HomeCare Elite agencies for demonstrating a commitment to improving quality patient care at low costs. The clinical best practices and data tracking skills these agencies have implemented can position them for future success in government programs such as value-based purchasing and star ratings,” said Marci Heydt, Senior Content Manager, DecisionHealth.
 
Winners are ranked by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, best practice (process measure) implementation, patient experience (Home Health CAHPS®), quality improvement and consistency, and financial performance. In order to be considered, an agency must be Medicare-certified and have data for at least one outcome in Home Health Compare. Out of 9,406 agencies considered, 2,353 are recognized on the 2016 HomeCare Elite winners list overall.
