Interim Healthcare of Coshocton receives top star rating on home health compare
NEW PHILADELPHIA – Interim HealthCare of Coshocton, Ohio, local branch of the Cambridge, Ohio office and a longtime provider of home health care services, announced that it received a 4.5 quality rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
CMS recently released its first round of Quality of Patient Care “star ratings” for Medicare-certified home care agencies. The ratings are now included in the Medicare Home Health Compare website and will be updated quarterly. The stars summarize each agency’s performance compared to other home health agencies nationally on 9 of 29 quality measures that are publicly available on the Medicare website Home Health Compare.
These include: timely initiation of care, drug education on all medications in the home and if the patient had received a flu shot during the current flu season-a way to reduce risk for more complications. Other measures include if patient improved in walking, getting in and out of bed, bathing independently from the time they started to receive home care to the time that they are discharge. The measures also compare how often patients are hospitalized while receiving home care compared to other agencies.
