SAN RAMON, CA.— Hill Physicians Medical Group, California’s largest Independent Physician Association, recently received three awards: two from the Integrated Healthcare Association (IHA) including the Top 10% Patient Experience Award and the Excellence in Healthcare Award for their performance in measurement year 2022, and ‘Elite Status’ in America’s Physician Groups (APG) 2023 Standards of Excellence (SOE®) survey.
As part of IHA’s statewide “Align. Measure. Perform.” (AMP) program, Hill Physicians Medical Group – Solano Region received the Top 10% Patient Experience Performance Award, which recognizes provider organizations whose achievement score in patient experience was at or above the 90th percentile across the over 200 participating provider organizations. Recipients for the annual award are selected based on performance results for care provided to patients with Commercial HMO coverage in measurement year 2022.
Hill Physicians Medical Group – Bay Region received the IHA Excellence in Healthcare Award, which 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 19 attained Excellence in Healthcare Award performance standards for their care of patients with Commercial HMO coverage in measurement year 2022.
“We are thrilled to be recognized for our dedication to excellence in clinical quality, patient experience, and managing healthcare costs,” said David Joyner, CEO of Hill Physicians.
