ComForcare received an Honorable Mention Award in the
"Managed Care: Transition of Care Programs" category in the third
annual Dorland Health Case In Point Platinum Awards Program in May 2012.
The Platinum Awards Program recognizes the most successful
and innovative case management programs working to improve health care across
the care continuum and sets the standard for programs that deliver sustained
success.
ComForcare was one of four finalists in the nation, and the
only home care provider, to be nominated for an award in the 2012 "Managed
Care: Transition of Care Programs" category, which recognizes programs
that have made inroads to improving the transitions of care.
ComForcare developed the Patient Centered Transitions as a
collaborative way to reduce avoidable readmissions. The program fosters a team
approach for the patient by partnering with other health care providers to
ensure that when the patient is discharged all parties understand and execute
the patient's discharge instructions.
“We are extremely honored to be recognized by Dorland Health,”
said Mark Armstrong, president and CEO of ComForcare Senior Services. “Each and
every one of our dedicated franchise business owners is committed to providing
compassionate and reliable home care solutions for the elderly who prefer to
remain at home where their quality of life is enhanced to its greatest
potential.”
The 2012 Case in Point Platinum Awards showcased the work of
care coordination professionals across 22 categories. Case In Point is one of
the most widely-read publications in the case management industry, providing
healthcare professionals with original, comprehensive and insightful news, trends
and information.
