                      Northwest Health Physicians’ Specialty Hospital Recognized for Quality Care

                      Fayetteville hospital receives TMF hospital quality improvement award

                      Fayetteville, AR. August 13, 2019. Northwest Health Physicians’ Specialty Hospital (PSH) has received the TMF Hospital Quality Improvement Silver Award from TMF® Health Quality Institute. The TMF Hospital Quality Improvement Award program is sponsored by TMF, the Arkansas Hospital Association, Oklahoma Hospital Association, Oklahoma State Office of Rural Health, Texas Hospital Association and Texas Organization of Rural and Community Hospitals. It recognizes hospitals in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas that have undertaken quality initiatives to improve outcomes in patient care and improve their performance on specific national quality measures. This program was established in 2004 as a non-competitive recognition program designed to identify exemplary outcomes achieved by hospitals.

                      PSH is a 20-bed facility with five operating rooms and a special procedure room. The hospital, which is owned in part by physicians, is the official medical provider of the Arkansas Razorbacks®.

                      Out of 557 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS or Acute Care) Hospitals and 188 Critical Access Hospitals (CAH), 51 earned the TMF Hospital Quality Improvement Gold Award. The Silver Award went to 50 hospitals, and 51 hospitals earned the Bronze Award.

                      “I’m so proud of our staff for earning this recognition on behalf of our patients,” said Michael Herr, Chief Administrative Officer of Physicians’ Specialty Hospital. “This honor demonstrates our commitment to patient safety and delivering quality health care. We will continue to enhance our quality improvement efforts through our collaboration with TMF Health Quality Institute, other partners, and our care providers to ensure that every single patient gets the right care at the right time, every time.”

                      The 2018 TMF Hospital Quality Improvement Award program is based on achievements in 2016 and 2017. It honors hospitals that are performing quality initiatives aimed at improving outcomes in patient care by recognizing those hospitals that have improved their performance on specific national quality measures.

                      “TMF is proud to recognize these hospitals for promoting quality improvement activities and their senior management for promoting a quality culture,” said Tom Manley, CEO of TMF Health Quality Institute. “Quality improvement is a complex and demanding process, and we thank Physicians’ Specialty Hospital for their commitment to improving the health of patients and the efficiency of health care.”

                      To earn the Silver Award, a Prospective Payment System VBP-eligible hospital had to meet CY 2016 CMS VBP achievement thresholds for 75 percent of the eligible measures and was required to meet the CY 2016 achievement thresholds for at least 65 percent of submitted chart-abstracted Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR) measures. In addition, Silver Award winners had to demonstrate 10 percent relative improvement in reduction of readmissions during the award evaluation period, or an absolute readmissions rate of 5 percent or less.

                      For more information on the awards program, see the TMF Health Quality Institute awards website at https://award.tmf.org.
