DALLAS – Enhabit, Inc., a provider of hospice and home health services, has been awarded the Age-Friendly Care at Home Certification from Community Health Accreditation Partner (CHAP) for its home health agencies in Petersburg, Virginia, and Clermont, Florida. The CHAP certification program brings Age-Friendly Health Systems, an initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) in partnership with the American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA), to home health and hospice settings. The movement has been shown to reduce cost of care, improve clinical retention and satisfaction, and improve patient outcomes. “We are proud to be at the forefront of bringing the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement to home-based care,” said Bud Langham, executive vice president of clinical excellence and strategy. “While we’ve always focused on delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care, this movement provides a clear framework on how to incorporate these elements into our standards of care in a way that benefits our patients, clinicians, referral sources and payers.”
