UCLA scores high on survey by state physician groups

The UCLA Medical Group has earned a four-star ranking, the highest achievement possible, in the California Association of Physician Groups' (CAPG) seventh annual Standards of Excellence survey.

 

The survey is a voluntary, critical self-assessment for the CAPG's 150 medical group members in California. It tallies the "tools" required for health care systems to deliver a better patient experience, better population health and better affordability, as outlined in the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim initiative.

 

This year, 36 organizations achieved elite status, which involved intense testing and documentation.

 

"The UCLA Medical Group is honored to receive this important recognition and we are very proud of our four-star rating," said Dr. Samuel A. Skootsky, chief medical officer of the UCLA Faculty Practice and Medical Group. "Participation in this survey has encouraged us to continually improve upon our capabilities in care coordination and case management to the benefit of the patients we serve — and to demonstrate our commitment to healing humankind one patient at a time."
