“Although we are a small
fledgling enterprise that lacks the deep pockets of our competitors,
we have deep beliefs; the belief that every patient deserves exemplary
care; the belief that healthcare delivery excellence does not have
to be costly or difficult (to achieve); and the belief that all providers
should excel in the three areas that matter most to patients—Safety,
Honesty and Caring.” |

THE PROMISE OF
HEALTHCARE EXCELLENCE |
|
| Since the time of ancient Greece, the legend
of Asclepius has served as a metaphor for healthcare delivery excellence.
Pindar and Isyllus in the 4th century BC described him as the first
great caregiver—mankind’s universal benefactor whose compassion
for human suffering brought out his brilliance and benevolence. |
SANDRA C. CANALLY,
RN
PRESIDENT, THE COMPLIANCE TEAM, INC.
Working on the premise that healthcare delivery excellence
can be more easily achieved by dramatically simplifying quality standards
and helping providers implement program requirements, Sandy first
set out to redefine DMEPOS, Pharmacy, Homecare and Specialty Provider
healthcare accreditation in 1994 when she formed The Compliance Team,
Inc. which is headquartered in Spring House, Pennsylvania, a suburb
of Philadelphia.
In the Fall of 2002, Sandy solidified her status as one of the nation's
leading patient safety advocates by forming NurseSponsors, Inc. which
serves as the corporate umbrella for her ad hoc initiative to bring
many of the estimated one-half million working age inactive American
trained nurses back to beside patient care nursing. In her spare time,
she enjoys cooking, gardening with Shelties and an occasional relaxing
visit to Cape May, New Jersey.
In addition to leading the movement towards healthcare evaluation
simplification, Sandy in 2000, co-founded with her husband Richard,
the Health Care Evaluation Institute, a corporation dedicated to bringing
the benefits of the Exemplary Provider™ Accreditation Programs
to underserved rural and urban populations.

"Simplification leads to
Clarity and Clarity allows the provider to focus on
improving their service to the patient and increasing their bottom
line.”
