SOMC Home Health Services has been named a Top Agency of the 2012 HomeCare Elite, which is a compilation of the top-performing home health agencies in the United States.

“This is a tremendous honor,” Karen Thompson, administrative director of SOMC Home Care, said. “It has long been our goal to provide the patients of this area with the best Home Care possible. Being named one of HomeCare Elite’s Top Agencies of 2012 shows that our hard work is paying off, and we hope to provide even greater care in 2013.”

HomeCare Elite identifies the top 25 percent of Medicare-certified agencies in the U.S. Agencies are evaluated by an analysis of publicly available performance measures in quality outcomes, process measure implementation, patient experience, quality improvement and financial performance.

“The 2012 HomeCare Elite winners demonstrate a commitment to providing patient-centered care and serving as leaders in the home health community. Their success offers data-driven proof of being well-managed and high quality care providers to hospitals, managed care organizations, ACOs, and other potential referral partners across the healthcare continuum,” said Susan L. Henricks, President and COO of National Research Corporation, the parent company of OCS HomeCare. “Again, this year, we updated our methodology to reflect the rapidly evolving quality-focused healthcare landscape and national value-based purchasing trends. We congratulate SOMC on being recognized as a top home care agency.”
