Ill., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
BrightStar Care, the leading national home care and medical
staffing agency with more than 380 corporate-owned and franchised
locations known for providing a higher standard of home care, was
awarded the 2024 Enterprise Champion for Quality Award by The Joint
Commission. This honor marks BrightStar Care's 12th consecutive
year of recognition with this prestigious award, reinforcing the
brand's commitment to the highest standards of safety and quality
care in the home care Industry.
Award-Winning Superior Home Care
BrightStar Care stands out as the sole home care and franchise
organization to earn the Enterprise Champion for Quality Award for
12 consecutive years. Notably, it is also the only brand to have
received this prestigious title since the award's inception in
2013. To date, 95% of BrightStar Care's corporate and
franchise-owned agencies are accredited by The Joint Commission,
the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting
body in healthcare.
Receiving the Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission
means that healthcare organizations have completed a comprehensive
on-site review and meet the standards and requirements established
by The Joint Commission. To achieve and retain accreditation,
organizations must incorporate and consistently maintain Joint
Commission standards and requirements into their policies,
procedures, processes, and training materials. Joint Commission
accreditation helps organizations improve safety and quality by
identifying known or unknown risks through a meaningful
assessment.
"Our paramount focus across the BrightStar Care network is to
uphold a superior standard of care for our clients to ensure
successful clinical outcomes for seniors, families, and individuals
in need of home care," said Andy
Ray, CEO of BrightStar Care. "We are honored that The Joint
Commission continues to acknowledge our endeavors, recognizing us
once again with the esteemed Enterprise Champion for Quality Award.
As we broaden our service offerings across hospital-at-home,
Medicare Advantage, and diverse care models and expand our
clientele to encompass the entirety of the eligible home care
market, our dedication remains steadfast in delivering a
comprehensive continuum of care. This accolade reaffirms our
commitment to collaborating with our franchisees to ensure our
clients receive unparalleled, top-tier nurse-led care."
"Congratulations to BrightStar Care for receiving The Joint
Commission's Enterprise Champion for Quality Award for the 12th
consecutive year," says Kathy Jo Valencia
RN, MSN, field director, Home Care Accreditation Program,
The Joint Commission. "This award recognizes BrightStar Care's
commitment to work closely with its franchisees to help improve
patient safety and quality of care in the home care setting through
Joint Commission accreditation. As home care services continue to
expand across the nation, it is critical that individuals and their
families receive safe and quality care in this setting. BrightStar
Care is using The Joint Commission's quality framework to help
assess and improve outcomes."
Network Quality Assurance
Joint Commission accreditation is a known quality indicator
within the healthcare industry. It is the same organization that
accredits and certifies more than 23,000 healthcare organizations
and programs in the United States.
BrightStar Care's accreditation by The Joint Commission enables the
organization to support its clients in maintaining safe and
independent living at home to help enhance their quality of life.
Additionally, it aids in mitigating hospital readmissions, reducing
visits to the emergency room, preventing falls and infections, and
minimizing healthcare expenses and medical costs for clients.
Franchisors benefit from a credible third-party assessment that
aids in brand supervision and management, ensuring that their tools
and resources align with industry-leading standards.
Simultaneously, franchisees derive value from the opportunity to
effectively set themselves apart in a competitive market. The
establishment of the Enterprise Champion for Quality Award by The
Joint Commission was specifically tailored with franchisors in
mind, offering them tangible evidence of their dedication to safety
and excellence within their franchise operations. Backed by
third-party validators, BrightStar Care's proven clinical outcomes
