Plaza Health Network’s seven rehabilitation and skilled nursing centers have each been recognized by Providigm, a national health care quality assessment system, for the outstanding level of care provided to patients.
Four Plaza Health Network centers -Arch Plaza, Ponce Plaza, South Pointe Plaza and Sinai Plaza – have received Advanced Quality Assurance & Performance (QAPI) Accreditation. Only 54 centers throughout Florida – and seven in South Florida- received this advanced level of accreditation.
Three Plaza Health Network centers – Aventura Plaza, Jackson Plaza and University Plaza- have also been awarded the 2017 Providigm Basic QAPI Accreditation. Only 13 centers in Florida – and four in South Florida – were recognized with this level of accreditation.
In addition, six out of seven Plaza Health Network centers – Arch Plaza, Jackson Plaza, Ponce Plaza, Aventura Plaza, South Pointe Plaza and University Plaza – were the recipients of the Providigm National Embracing Quality Award, an achievement attained by only 265 skilled nursing facilities across the United States and Ontario, Canada for their outstanding commitment to quality. Winners are chosen based on attaining a deficiency-free annual survey, having a low risk-adjusted rate of readmission to hospitals and/or achieving exceptionally favorable customer service ratings.
These distinctions are awarded based on standards for excellence in continuously improving quality of care and life for patients. They confirm that Plaza Health Network’s centers are continually assessing items that affect the patient’s and residents’ quality of care issues, such as weight loss, infections, rehabilitation following acute injury or illness, whether there are enough staff to meet resident needs, and prevention of readmissions to hospital; as well as quality of life, such as pain levels and choices that they have in the facility.
