Bronze Quality Award Virtual Workshop

If your organization has thought about participating in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award program, this is your opportunity to complete the Bronze Award application from beginning to end with coaching support along the way from our expert facilitators.

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– becoming a high-performing organization.

Each webinar will be approximately 2 hours in length (and recorded) and will be from 2:00pm-4:00pm EST.

Dates: November 4 and November 13

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the AHCA/NCAL Bronze Quality Award process.
• Gain an understanding of the value of participating in the Quality Award process.
• Go “behind the scenes” of the assessment process and why this is important – beyond an award application.
• Understand the technical requirements and policies of the Bronze Quality Award process.
• Understand how quality improvement activities build a culture of continuous improvement and high-performance work teams.
• Write the draft of your organization’s Bronze Quality Award application.

Important Eligibility Information:

• Providers who are or will be members in good standing with AHCA or NCAL at the time of application are eligible to apply. Those who are members in good standing at the time of award notification are eligible to receive the award and the associated feedback report.
• Skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, campus settings.
• Campus settings with multiple levels of services may elect to apply for the entire campus as one or may elect to apply independently for each level of service.
• Skilled nursing facilities must have completed at least one Medicare/Medicaid survey.
• Providers who are not members in good standing with AHCA or NCAL at the time of application are not eligible to apply. Those who are not members in good standing at the time of award notification are not eligible to receive the award and the associated feedback report.

Who Should Participate:   Suggested participants for this workshop are administrators or executive directors and directors of nursing, admission coordinators, along with other leadership team members – including owners. A team approach is the most effective method to develop your application in a manner that makes it your “management document,” and not just an award application.   This program is only for IHCA/INCAL Members.
