Detailed information:

 

​The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is a rigorous three-level process that evaluates long term care organizations capabilities against nationally recognized standards for excellence, making it one of the most comprehensive and cost-effective performance assessments available to providers. Each progressive award levels— Bronze – Commitment to Quality, Silver – Achievement in Quality, and Gold – Excellence in Quality, requires a more detailed demonstration of superior performance. More information about the Award Program can be found here.

 

The NHHCA is exited to offer our member-facilities a series that will introduce the Quality Award Process, explain the Award Levels, and help facilities develop their applications.  This is MORE than just about awards, this is a process of assuring your facility has the tools and processes you need to care for your residents, support your staff, and assure future success!

 

As noted above, there will be two separate tracks:

  1. Bronze: for facilities who are just starting their quality award journey – applying for the first level – Bronze-Commitment to Quality
  2. Silver: for facilities who have already earned their Bronze Award and want to apply for the next level – Silver-Achievement in Quality

 

Each track is a multi-part series:

 

  1. An Introductory Zoom session that introduces the Appropriate Level and lays out how to prepare for the In-Person Training
  2. An In-Person Training, preferably 2-3 individuals from each participating facility, that will delve into the award and allow you to start developing your application
    Silver will have three sessions, a combo of full/half day sessions.  Some in-person, some via Zoom.
  3. A Concluding Zoom call to discuss progress and finishing touches.
  4. There may be opportunities for individual consultation during this process.

 

Our trainer will be Lynn Carpenter, Ph.D., NHA – Navlynn Resources
A Senior Examiner with the AHCA/NCAL Quality Award Program (Reviewer of Silver-Level Applications)
Former Nursing Home Administrator who has lead a facility along the Quality Award Journey, earning the Silver Award during her tenure
