The certification represents a significant step forward in how heart failure care is delivered in the home setting, and recognizes our commitment to high-quality, evidence-based care for patients with heart failure.
This certification is based on rigorous standards that evaluate home health agencies on a number of important criteria, including program management, patient and caregiver education, care coordination, clinical management and ongoing quality improvement. Meeting these standards is a testament to the strength of our care and the dedication of our team.
“The American Heart Association’s certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality care,” said Patricia O’Brien, MBA, MS, RN, President of Care at Home. “The tools and guidance provided by the American Heart Association enhances our ability to educate and support patients with heart failure, helping them better manage their condition and improve their quality of life.”
This achievement reflects Tufts Medicine’s bold, systemwide commitment to advancing heart health through personalized care, innovation and teamwork. From hospitals to home health, our teams are united in supporting patients at every stage, from early diagnosis to lifelong management. By combining leading clinical expertise with compassion, Tufts Medicine is redefining what it means to live well with heart disease.
With this certification, Care at Home joins a national network of organizations recognized for their excellence in heart failure care. It reinforces our focus on delivering coordinated, patient-centered care that meets people where they are, in the comfort of their homes.
