In partnership with several state affiliates, IHCA presents a SILVER Quality Award virtual workshop series to help you better understand the Silver Award application criteria, scoring, and strategies for a successful 2020 application submission.
Applicants must receive a Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award before applying at the Silver level.
This workshop will assist you in your journey to Silver!
Bronze recipients have three years to apply for Silver from the year they received the Bronze award. Silver recipients outline their systematic approaches and demonstrate sustainable organizational and process results linked to their key customer requirements, success factors and challenges. This workshop is about more than an award; besides gaining a better understanding of what examiners are looking for and how to use the award criteria as an improvement tool, you will learn how to use the award process to focus, align, and accelerate your performance excellence efforts thus becoming a high-performing organization.
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 second step in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award.
At the Silver Award level, applicants continue to learn and develop effective approaches that help improve performance and health care outcomes. The Silver criteria, based on the Baldrige Excellence Framework, provide applicants with a thorough assessment of how their organization works, its effectiveness, and tools for improvement in their approaches. The Silver level gives a clear pathway for recipients moving to the highest honor of recognition, the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award.
Learner Objectives:
- Gain an understanding of the value of moving from Bronze recognition to Silver.
- Go behind the scenes of the assessment process to understand what examiners are looking for and why that is important – beyond an award application.
- Understand the details of the Baldrige process and results categories.
- Identify your organization’s strengths and opportunities for improvement as you practice writing responses with the assistance of experienced examiners.
BEFORE THE WEBINAR:
- Review your Bronze application and have a copy with you.
- Review the eligibility requirements in the 2021 Silver Criteria and Application document to ensure you are eligible to apply.
- Access a copy of the 2021 Silver Achievement in Quality Award Application & Criteria.
