Dear Colleague:
Now in its ninth year, the HomeCare Elite recognition program lists the top 25 percent of home health agencies
in the country. Congratulations! We are proud to name your organization among the 2014 HomeCare
Elite!
Brought to you by OCS HomeCare by National Research Corporation and DecisionHealth, HomeCare Elite
honors the top-performing agencies in five categories: quality of care (outcomes), best practice (process
measure) implementation, quality improvement and consistency, patient experience (HHCAHPS), and financial
performance measures. The 2014 HomeCare Elite was compiled using publicly available data from Home
Health Compare and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Cost Reports. The HomeCare Elite
also recognizes the Top 100 and Top 500 providers nationwide. Out of 9,994 agencies considered, 2,501 are
elite.
OCS HomeCare by National Research is the leading provider of healthcare metrics and analytics.
DecisionHealth is the publisher of the most respected independent newsletter in the home care profession,
Home Health Line.
