BridgingLife Named a 2021 Hospice Honors Recipient
BridgingLife has been named a 2021 Hospice Honors recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst. Hospice Honors is a prestigious program that recognizes hospices providing the highest level of quality as measured from the caregiver's point of view.
BridgingLife was one of only four hospice organizations in Maryland and the only hospice in central Maryland to receive this honor. It is the fifth year that BridgingLife has received this recognition.
"Hospice Honors recipients are industry leaders in providing quality care and constantly seeking ways to improve," said Ronda Howard, vice president of revenue cycle and CAHPS at HEALTHCAREfirst. "We are honored to be aligned with such high performing agencies like BridgingLife and we congratulate them on their success."
BridgingLife received the award based on its Hospice CAHPS survey results. BridgingLife exceeded the HEALTHCAREfirst National Performance Score on 21 out of 24 of the survey's quality indicator measures. The survey consisted of 24 quality measures focused on the responses of patients and caregivers on their willingness to recommend BridgingLife to others.
"BridgingLife is proud to receive this Hospice Honors award again "” for the fifth time. We have a long history of providing end-of-life care to patients and this award is a testament to the extraordinary care our hospice staff consistently provides," said Regina Bodnar, assistant vice president of hospice and palliative services at BridgingLife.
