UKIAH — Ukiah Valley Rural Health Center (UVRHC) recently received a 100-point quality rating as part of the Quality Improvement Program (QIP) from Partnership HealthPlan of California (PHC).
In the 2012-2013 reporting year, a total of 126 sites participated in the QIP across PHC”s six counties: Marin, Mendocino, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo.
Each site that participated in the program was responsible for reporting 16 measures across four domains which included: preventative care services, appropriate use of resources, access and operations, and measuring and continuing to improve the patient”s experience, according to UVRHC Regional Communications Manager Nick Bejarano. The average number of points earned across all sites was 67.3 percent, with only two sites earning 100 points, one being the UVRHC, and the other site in Marin County.
“We really made a concerted effort to do our best. We knew that by participating in the QIP each member of our team, from the receptionist to our physicians, would have to put their best effort into caring for each community member that comes through our doors ? something I feel our team has always tried to achieve regardless of an award. We are truly honored to receive a 100-point ranking,” UVRHC Director Darcie Antle stated.
The UVRHC provides comprehensive and preventative health care services for Mendocino and Lake counties.
