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.
