Home Care Services named to ‘Elite’ list
Laura Beth Brown, R.N.
Now in its fifth year, the HomeCare Elite ranking is based on an analysis of performance measures in quality outcomes, quality improvement and financial performance.
“It is always nice to have your work validated and measured among your peers,” said Laura Beth Brown, R.N., president of Home Care Services. “We are incredibly fortunate to work among the best.”
For nearly three decades, the program has made more than 1.5 million visits and provided more than 1 million hours of private duty services in the home to patients ranging from neonates to centenarians.
The focus for each patient is the same — providing optimum health care in a home setting and support for the family.
Brown said the key to the program's success is its integration with the larger Vanderbilt system.
Vanderbilt's program offers a multi-disciplinary approach to care coordinated by the patient's physician. Services include nurse visits, physical, occupational and speech therapy, medical social work, behavioral health, home health aides/assistants, private duty services, sitters and office support.
