A recently released 2006 Homecare Elite list named Tillamook County General Hospital’s Home Care Services agency among the top 25 percent of home care agencies in its region.
The list was compiled by Outcome Concept Systems, Inc. (OCS), a Seattle-based company providing data products and benchmark services for home health, hospice and private duty agencies.
The listing of the top tier US home health care agencies honors those that rank in the top 25 percent in their region based on quality of care, quality improvement and financial performance.
OCS determined the top home health agencies nationwide through benchmarking based on quality measurement scores submitted to Home Health Compare and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Cost Reports for July 2005 through June 2006.
OCS maintains the nation’s largest proprietary home care, hospice and private duty benchmark databases comprised of patient-level data across all business components: clinical, financial, operational, visit utilization and patient satisfaction.
Tillamook County General Hospital is a member of Adventist Health, a network of hospitals and healthcare organizations operating in Oregon, California, Washington and Hawaii.
