Hospice of Randolph County Named a 2019 Hospice Honors Recipient

Asheboro, NC – Hospice of Randolph County has been named a 2019 Hospice Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, a leading provider of billing and coding services, CAHPS surveys and advanced analytics.  Hospice Honors is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver’s point of view.  “We are excited to recognize the 2019 Hospice Honors recipients for their hard work and dedication to providing exceptional care,” said Misty Skinner, Executive Vice President of Services at HEALTHCAREfirst.  “I congratulate Hospice of Randolph County on its success in achieving this highest of honors.”  

Award criteria were based on Hospice CAHPS survey results for an evaluation period of October 2017 through September 2018.  Award recipients were identified by evaluating performance on a set of 24 quality indicator measures.  Performance scores were aggregated from all completed surveys and were compared on a question-by-question basis to a National Performance Score calculated from all hospices contained in the HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS database.  Hospice Honors recipients include those hospices scoring above the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 20 of the evaluated questions.  Please visit HEALTHCAREfirst’s website at www.healthcarefirst.com to learn more about HEALTHCAREfirst’s Hospice CAHPS survey program as well as the Hospice Honors awards.

Hospice of Randolph County plans to merge with Hospice of the Piedmont, effective September 30, 2019.  This is a wonderful opportunity for two mission-driven, not-for-profit organizations to join together in order to better meet the needs throughout our Piedmont Triad communities.

Hospice of the Piedmont possesses the same quality of care and commitment to excellence as we do.  With this partnership, we can eliminate overlapping service areas, improve patient services and better fulfill our mission of providing the highest quality end-of-life care possible in an ever-changing healthcare environment.

Our primary goal will remain focused on helping individuals seek the care they need on the terms they choose. There will be no immediate changes to our programs and the care currently being provided to our patients will remain unchanged during this transition.
