Plaza Health Network Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Centers Earn Continuous Quality Improvement Accreditation
 
Plaza Health Network, a Miami-Dade based network of rehabilitation and skilled nursing centers, announced receiving quality assurance and performance improvement accreditation for all seven of its facilities earlier this week.

The Providigm Quality Assurance & Performance Improvement (QAPI) accreditation is based on standards for excellence in continuously improving quality of care and life for nursing home residents. Each quarter, centers are evaluated for comprehensive assessments, ongoing initiatives, representative unique patient assessments and corrective improvement processes, and must meet all four pillars for the preceding 12 months to earn accreditation.

"We're delighted to receive this across-the-board recognition for the important work we do every day," said Elaine Bloom, Plaza Health Network CEO and President. "I'm very proud of every member of our team of more than 1,400 employees for their daily dedication to quality."

Providigm also granted its 2015 Embracing Quality Awards to Plaza Health Network. Getting a nod for being among "the top performing nursing homes and centers in the United States and Canada" are Arch Plaza, Jackson Plaza, Pon ce Plaza, Sinai Plaza, South Pointe Plaza and University Plaza.
