Ambulatory surgery center benchmarking firm CTQ Solutions has announced its 2010/2011 Apex Quality Award winners, recognizing ASCs, hospitals, endoscopy centers, diagnostic imaging centers, physician practices and therapy & rehabilitation centers for excellence in patient satisfaction and overall quality of care.
"The philosophy of CTQ's closed-loop quality management emphasizes failure point mitigation during patient care," said CTQ President and CEO Paul G. Faraclas, in the news release. "Although communication between patients and care-givers do not guarantee better clinical/evaluative outcomes, CTQ believes that such communication may certainly contribute to earlier diagnoses, more informed care and help avoid undesirable events. CTQ believes each APEX winner exhibits this behavior in their delivery of care."
Thirty-nine ASCs received the recognition, as did seven endoscopy centers, three diagnostic imaging organizations, two physician practices, two inpatient care providers and two therapy & rehabilitation centers
