Integrated Healthcare Association’s 2022 Excellence in Healthcare Award Recognizes Provider Organizations for Achieving Top Marks Simultaneously on Quality, Patient Experience and Cost

Whittier, Calif. (December 9, 2022) – PIH Health Physicians is one of a few physician organizations statewide to receive the 2022 Excellence in Healthcare Award from the Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) for top performance on clinical quality, patient experience and cost measures. This is the sixth time PIH Health Physicians has received this recognition.

“It is an honor to once again be recognized for improving healthcare quality, making sure patients have a positive experience while working to keep care affordable,” said Roberto Madrid M D, vice president of Medical Operations, PIH Health Physicians. “This award is a testament to our dedicated and hardworking physicians, advance practice professionals, nurses, staff and leadership team and their commitment to the communities we serve and putting our patients first.”

A key component of IHA’s statewide Align. Measure. Perform. (AMP) Program, the Excellence in Healthcare Award recognizes provider organizations that perform in the top 50 percent in all three major AMP areas: clinical quality, patient experience and total cost of care.

Of the nearly 200 provider organizations statewide participating in the AMP Program, only 27 attained Excellence in Healthcare Award performance standards for 2022, based on AMP results for measurement year 2021. The award was presented on Dec. 8 at IHA’s Annual Stakeholder Conference.

 IHA President and CEO Jeff Rideout, MD commended the top performers, saying, “IHA is proud to recognize provider organizations that are truly leading the way to high-quality, affordable, patient-centered care.”
