Arthurdale — West Virginia Caring has been named a 2018 Hospice Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, the leading provider of Web-based home health and hospice software, billing and coding services, CAHPS 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 2018 Hospice Honors recipients for their hard work and dedication to providing exceptional care,” said J. Kevin Porter of HEALTHCAREfirst. “I congratulate West Virginia Caring on its success in achieving this highest of honors.”

Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of October 2016 through September 2017. 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 partnering 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. HEALTHCAREfirst holds a special recognition, Hospice Honors Elite, to honor hospices scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on all 24 of the evaluated questions.  Please visit HEALTHCAREfirst’s website at www.healthcarefirst.com to learn more about HEALTHCAREfirst Hospice CAHPS survey program as well as the Hospice Honors awards.

“West Virginia Caring puts patients and families first, and the third-party, evidence-based Hospice Honors recognition validates our priorities,” said President and CEO Malene Davis, MBA, MSN, RN, CHPN. “We encourage the citizens and their families in our 12-county service area to call on West Virginia Caring if you have any questions or are considering palliative or hospice care needs.”

West Virginia Caring, formerly named Hospice Care Corporation, is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit organization, is dedicated to serving the terminally ill and their families individuals transitioning through life-limiting illness while providing outreach, education and expertise in grief support to the entire community.  WV Caring serves 12 counties in West Virginia since 1983.  It is owned by the communities it serves in North Central West Virginia.  In fact, WV Caring is one of a few not for profit, stand-alone hospices serving this area.  For more information, visit the company’s web site at www.wvcaring.org or call 1-800-350-1161.
