Preparing an application for a Gold AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award is a big step up from the Silver Award application. In the past three years only fourteen [14] percent of Gold Award applicants have earned site visits. This workshop helps identify and prevent the five [5] most common reasons for not earning a site visit. By mastering the performance excellence fundamentals, creating your application plans, and refining your application skills will give you a head start on your 2021 Gold Award Application.
The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program provides a pathway for providers of long term and post-acute care services to journey towards performance excellence. The program is based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The final step in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award. Recipients of the Gold Award are considered the best of the best in the profession.
At the Gold Award level, applicants must show superior performance in areas of the criteria including leadership, strategic planning, and customer and staff satisfaction. By completing the Gold level criteria, organizations take their quality journey to a higher level through the valuable feedback received in the application process and thereby reaching organizational goals. Gold applicants address the Baldrige Excellence Framework in its entirety.
Applicants are required to receive the Bronze – Commitment to Quality and Silver – Achievement in Quality Awards before applying at the Gold level. This workshop will assist you in your journey to Gold!
