Hospital Follow-up Within 14 Days of Discharge
Percentage of patients who were seen by their primary care provider (PCP) within 14 days of a hospital discharge. Following up with a PCP has been linked to reducing re-admission to the hospital.
Influenza Vaccine
Percentage of patients 6 months or older who have received an influenza vaccine. Vaccination has been linked to preventing the spread of the influenza virus.
Breast Cancer Screening
Percentage of female patients 50 to 74 years old who had a mammogram. Early detection is important to prevent the spread of breast cancer.
Diabetic Poor Control Hemoglobin A1c > 9.0
Percentage of patients 18-75 years of age with diabetes who had hemoglobin A1c > 9.0% during the measurement period. A hemoglobin A1c of >9.0% represents poor blood sugar control; therefore, the lower the value, the better. Patients who have a low hemogloblin A1c are less likely to suffer the side effects of diabetes
Depression Screening and Follow-up
Percentage of patients 13 and old who received a depression screening and a follow-up plan if the patient tested positive for depression. Depression is often missed or overlooked, annual screenings enables health care providers to detect and treat depression.
Patient Satisfaction
A survey administered quarterly to analyze the overall patient experience at Florida Medical Clinic.
Our goal is to provide excellence in every patient experience. Your opinion is valuable to us - we would love to hear from you!
