Giving a Special Gift Is someone you know having a special birthday or anniversary and you don’t know what to give them? Why not honor them by making a contribution in their name to the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League. Their name will appear in the newsletter and you will receive an in-kind donation for the amount donated. In turn, if your donation is $20 or more, the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation will give you credit toward your benefactor status. You may also wish to remember a loved one or friend that may be deceased. What better way to memorialize them. Remember, for the person who has everything, a gift to the Debbie- Rand Memorial Service League is priceless! 4 | JUNE 2013 | DRMSL
VHA Leadership Award FOR CLINICAL EXCELLENCE VHA Inc. awarded Boca Raton Regional Hospital the 2013 VHA Leadership Award for Clinical Excellence. This recognition honors the Hospital for achieving national performance standards for clinical quality, safety and patient experience. Boca Regional was one of only 40 VHA member hospitals this year to receive the award. VHA is a national healthcare network of more than 1,350 not-for-profit hospital systems and 72,000 non-acute facilities that work together to achieve new levels of clinical performance and operational efficiency. The VHA Leadership Award for Clinical Excellence recognizes organizations that achieve top performance in care measures tracked by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Winners are selected based on a composite score consisting of three elements: 1) Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Total Performance Score, which includes Core Measures and the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services (HCAHPS) survey results; 2) 30-day readmission rates; and 3) Medicare cost data. By recognizing institutions for their commitment and achievements, VHA hopes that other health systems will apply these leading practices in their own organizations to further enhance the overall level of quality in our nation’s healthcare system. 2013 Hospital Week On May 16th, employees, physicians and volunteers took part in the festivities around the Boca Raton Regional Hospital pond to celebrate National Hospital Week.
