Home Care Quality Scores
Top Local Home Health Agencies
In a recent ranking of home health care organizations nationwide, Kettering Network Home Care (KNHC) consistently ranked in the 75th percentile and above on risk-adjusted performance in 11 quality measures for over 9,000 agencies nationwide. In addition, they also ranked above other local home care providers as well, an outstanding accomplishment made possible by Home Care’s dedicated team of professionals.
The study was performed by HealthInsight, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health systems of Nevada and Utah. HealthInsight computed national home health care rankings using publicly-reported data downloaded from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) web site (medicare.gov). Rates are based on episodes of care occurring between April 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009. This data set contains agency-specific, risk-adjusted, performance on 12 measures; however, 11 measures were used for this study.
Agencies are ranked based on their average performance rate for the measures reported. For more information about Kettering Network Home Care, visit http://www.khnetwork.org/home/ or call 558-3900.
