    SPRING HOUSE, PA (October 2018) – Patrick Henry Medical, LLC, a medical equipment company specializing in clinical respiratory services located in Sherman, Texas that does business as Breath of Life, has achieved Exemplary Provider® accredited status for Patient-Centered Respiratory Home (PCRH), The Compliance Team’s latest accreditation designation that is specifically designed to help respiratory care professionals perform at the top of their license.

    The Compliance Team, Inc. a Medicare-approved national healthcare accreditation organization launched its proprietary Patient-Centered Respiratory Home program in June. Breath of Life, which is also accredited by The Compliance Team for Medicare Part-B DMEPOS is the firm’s first PCRH accreditation track recipient.

    “Leading up to the launch of our Respiratory Home program there was a growing realization of the need for better communication and coordination regarding respiratory care management. This new program sets in place quality standards that guide clinical respiratory providers to better engage with their chronic care patients,” explained Sandra Canally, Founder and CEO of The Compliance Team. She went on to add that better outcomes are driven thru additional care planning and focused follow-up visits with program goals being three-fold: 1) address poor respiratory care management; 2) decrease emergency department visits; 3) lower hospital readmissions.

    Henry B. Loe, Jr., Breath of Life’s owner, released the following statement upon learning of The Compliance Team’s formal accreditation decision, “Thank you so much! The best part of this is working with The Compliance Team. You guys are amazing and that’s what makes programs like this possible! You truly care about listening to your DME companies and making them rise to the standards of care that SHOULD exist to move the industry forward.”

    According to Canally, The Compliance Team’s PCRH designation highlight’s the role of respiratory home medical equipment (HME) as the “go to” provider for respiratory care management. The program is intended to enhance patient management practices through concise measures that cover care planning, provider coordination and communication between respiratory specialists and prescribers. Presently, it is the only accreditation designation that recognizes respiratory HMEs for their expertise in care coordination within the medical community.

    Immunization Certification Ensures Safety and Quality for Covid-19  

    March 2021, Spring House, Pennsylvania – The Compliance Team, Inc., (TCT) a Medicare-approved national healthcare accreditation organization, recently launched its Exemplary Provider® Immunization Certification program, with emphasis on COVID-19 Vaccination.

    TCT’s Immunization Certification supports CDC’s COVID-19 requirements for both pharmacy network administrators as well as independent pharmacies, reassuring pharmacies’ patients, payers, and employees that their facility and patient safety and quality standards have been verified and validated by a trusted and nationally recognized third party.

    The standards for the new certification program are derived from the standards that define The Compliance Team’s long-standing Exemplary Provider® accreditation programs. Certification includes but is not limited to dealing with drug storage and handling, needle safety, drug interaction, and adherence to vaccine schedules.

    Immunization Certification is a stand-alone program, so a pharmacy need not be accredited by The Compliance Team for any other service. Once a pharmacy has completed the program, it will receive Exemplary Provider designation. The certification is valid for 2 years.
