Treasure Coast Hospice Named a 2019 Hospice Honors
Treasure Coast Hospice has been named a 2019 Hospice Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of billing and coding services, surveys, and advanced analytics. Hospice Honors is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view.
“We are excited to recognize the 2019 Hospice Honors recipients for their hard work and dedication to providing exceptional care,” said Misty Skinner, Executive Vice President of Services at HEALTHCAREfirst. “I congratulate Treasure Coast Hospice on its success in achieving this highest of honors.”
Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS (Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) survey results for an evaluation period of October 2017 through September 2018. Award recipients were identified by evaluating performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures. Performance scores were aggregated from all completed surveys and were compared on a question-by-question basis to a National Performance Score calculated from all hospices contained in the HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS database. Hospice Honors recipients include those hospices scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 20 of the evaluated questions.

“Treasure Coast Hospice is honored to be designated as a Hospice Honors recipient for patient care,” said Jeff White, Chief Compliance Officer. “This national recognition reflects the dedication and expertise of our staff who are committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care every day to patients and families facing one of the most difficult times in their lives.”
