Are the HCAHPS scores for your facility above the 90th percentile? Are the scores of other, competing health care facilities above the 90th percentile?Learn how patients’ perceptions of quality health care differs from health care professionals’ and how this should influence patient care. Discuss best practices and current trends regarding cleanliness, and a quiet health care environment. Learn the importance of HCAHPS data, value versus volume-based reimbursement, and what changes your organization may need to implement to improve the patient experience, HCAHPS scores, and reimbursement.Provided with this course:<ul><li>On-demand, anytime access on your phone or computer.</li><li>5 interactive online modules.</li><li>Interactive discussion forum where you can further your knowledge.</li><li>Certificate of course attendance and CECs for individual participants.</li></ul> Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 -0600 Websites 91��2017 Webinar: EVS and Patient Safety /ahe-2017-webinar-evs-and-patient-safety <h1>2017&nbsp;91��Webinar</h1> <h2>Environmental Services and Patient Safety: Building Collaborative Partnerships</h2> <hr> Release Date: March 2017 Cost: 91��Members FREE; Non-members $59.00 <a class="btn btn-primary btn" href="https://ams.aha.org/EWEB/DynamicPage.aspx?WebCode=ProdDetailAdd&amp;ivd_prc_prd_key=aa976abb-879c-4902-9dc4-cb9393f323f3&amp;_ga=2.230944087.954988668.1559568848-620121517.1547669993" role="button">Register</a> Protecting patients is a core element of the Environmental Services Program, but requires collaboration across multiple stakeholders throughout the continuum of care.
