Village Care Center/The Village@Erlanger recognized for health inspection performance


Village Care Center / The Village@Erlanger  was recently awarded Providigm’s Embracing Quality Award for 2018 for exceptional achievement in Health Inspection Performance.

In 2018, only 181 nursing centers across the US received awards, putting in a select group of high performing nursing centers.

Providigm’s Embracing Quality Awards honor high-performing nursing centers in one or more of three categories:

*Deficiency-Free Regulatory Health Inspection

*Prevention of Hospital Readmissions

*Superior Levels of Customer Satisfaction

Providigm, a HealthStream Company, works to create practical solutions that healthcare providers can use every day to improve quality.

“In a time where the skilled nursing industry has been under enormous pressure due to increased regulatory standards and slim margins, these facilities have continued to make quality a priority. Excellence in these measures directly links to high quality outcomes for the patient or resident,” said Ellen Kuebrich, Providigm’s Chief Strategy Officer. “We are excited to recognize our Embracing Quality Award winners not only as having achieved exceptional and measurable results in the areas of survey performance, readmissions, and satisfaction, but also as leaders in quality care in skilled nursing.”

Skilled nursing facilities were only eligible to win a 2018 Embracing Quality Award if they achieved standards for Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) as required by Providigm’s Accreditation Standards for QAPI. These standards ensure that facilities are assessing quality against the full federal regulation at an ongoing rate, encompassing a substantial proportion of their residents, and correcting identified issues.

“It is an honor to win the Embracing Quality Award for our Survey Performance,” said Kristi Hilbert, Administrator for Village Care Center. “This prestigious recognition is a tribute to the hard work of our team and their dedication to providing excellent care to our residents.”
