SynerMed Groups Rank Among Top Physician Groups for Patient Care NationwideLOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)-- SynerMed, Inc. groups achieve California Association of Physician Groups (CAPG) Standards of Excellence (SOE) rating again. The survey began eight years ago as a way to help healthcare purchasers and patients evaluate healthcare systems and now serves as a blueprint for excellence. Survey scores measure the structure and how well-equipped medical groups are delivering better patient experience, affordable care and managing population health. "SynerMed is committed to innovating healthcare by providing advanced technology and integrated delivery solutions that help our clients provide accountable and value-based care," said SynerMed President and CEO James Mason. "We congratulate all of our medical groups that demonstrate excellence in patient care as marked by CAPG's (SOE) during a transformative time in healthcare." The Standards of Excellence survey promotes transparency among healthcare organizations and raises the bar for quality. The critical self-assessment survey is voluntary for CAPG members, which includes 180 medical groups throughout California and 29 other states. SynerMed's EHS Medical Group achieved CAPG's highest level Four-Star "Elite" Status Award among 45 physician organizations, in addition to expanded requirements this year. "Medi-Cal is typically regarded as low quality healthcare but SynerMed's mission is to provide the best care at the best value for patients," said Peter Winston, SynerMed and EHS Medical Group Executive Vice President. "EHS is the only 'Elite' group that predominantly caters to California's safety net, which includes economically disadvantaged and underserved populations like Medi-Cal."
