Home Health Earns CHAP Accreditation

Community Health Accreditation Partner, Inc., (CHAP) announced that McDonough District Hospital Home Health Care has both been awarded CHAP Accreditation under the CHAP Services for Standards of Excellence. By achieving CHAP Accreditation, MDH has also been deemed to meet the Medicare Conditions of Participation and is certified as a Medicare provider.

“Achieving our initial CHAP accreditation is an incredible accomplishment and a proud moment for our entire home care team. This achievement reflects the compassion, dedication, and commitment to excellence that our team demonstrates every day for our patients and their families,” said MDH Home Health and Hospice Director Michaell Zimmerman, RN. “Going through the accreditation process challenged us to look closely at our practices, strengthen our systems, and ensure that our focus remains where it belongs - on our patients and their individual needs. CHAP accreditation is an important recognition of the work our team does every day, but more importantly, it reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in care. This accomplishment validates the quality of care we strive to provide, and it gives our patients, families and community even greater confidence in The MDH Hospice and MDH Home Health. While The MDH home care programs have always been accredited agencies, we chose CHAP because it is CMS-approved and the only accreditor undividedly focused on home and community‑based care.”

CHAP Accreditation demonstrates that MDH meets the industry’s highest nationally recognized standards. The rigorous evaluation by CHAP focuses on structure and function, quality of services and products, human and financial resources and long-term viability.
