Yesterday, AHCA/NCAL announced the names of the 191
skilled nursing care centers and assisted living communities in 43 states that
have earned the 2017 Silver - Achievement in Quality Award. The award is
the second of three distinctions possible through the AHCA/NCAL National
Quality Award Program, which recognizes providers across the nation that have
demonstrated their commitment to improving quality of care for residents and
patients in long term and post-acute care centers and communities.
Based on the core values and criteria of the nationally
recognized Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is also the foundation of the
metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative, the Association’s Quality Award
program challenges member providers to
achieve performance excellence through three
progressive levels—Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Members at the Silver award level
develop and demonstrate effective approaches that help improve performance and
quality outcomes.
This year’s Silver recipients
can now advance in developing approaches that meet the criteria required for
the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award. On June 1, the Association announced the honorees of
the Bronze - Commitment to Quality Award. A full list of Silver and
Bronze recipients is available on the AHCA/NCAL Quality Award website here. Gold
award recipients will be announced later this summer.
The program is sponsored by
AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Members: First Quality, National Research
Corporation, and Team TSI Corporation. The awards will be presented to
recipients during AHCA/NCAL’s 68th
Annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 15-18, 2017.
