“Improving quality of care and the patient experience

continue to underpin a rapidly evolving health care envi-

ronment,” says Christine Lang, Senior Director, Product

tracking, measuring and interpreting data that sup-

port these efforts is becoming more complex. The 2016

quality care in their communities, which is a remarkable

achievement. We congratulate Shannon Home Health on

being one of the top home care agencies in the country.”
