Mahaska Health Partnership
MAHASKA COUNTY – Mahaska Health Partnership has been named a 2015 HOSPICE HONORS™ recipient, a prestigious award recognizing hospices across the country for providing the best patient care as rated by the patient’s caregiver.
“We are the only Hospice service in the state to receive this award for 2015; it’s our third year in a row being recognized,” MHP Director of Home Health and Hospice Services Jean Gibson, RN, CHPN exclaimed.
The HOSPICE HONORS™ award is given by Detya, LLC, an industry leader in data driven management. Deyta used survey results compiled from patient’s family’s evaluation of hospice care to determine the recipients of this prestigious award. Award criteria were based on the survey results for an evaluation period of October 2013 through September 2014. Deyta identified award recipients by evaluating hospices’ performance on a set of 18 satisfaction indicator measures.
“This award exemplifies the dedication our Hospice team has to patient care,” Gibson shared. “We strive to provide the highest quality of care and support to patients and their families so they might live as fully and comfortably as possible during this stage of life. This award shows that we are continuing to meet this goal and improving through feedback from families.”
This year, MHP’s Hospice Services was the only program in Iowa to receive the HOSPICE HONORS™ award. “I couldn’t be more proud of our staff and the high level of care they continue to provide,” Gibson shared. “I am honored to work with such dedicated professionals who provide hospice care in both Mahaska and Keokuk counties.”
