August 2022 Webinar Series
A virtual event provided by Massachusetts Senior Care Association and multi-state affiliates of AHCA/NCAL.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Massachusetts Senior Care Association, in partnership with several state affiliates, presents a SILVER Quality Award virtual workshop series to help you better understand the Silver Award application criteria, scoring, and strategies for a successful 2023 application submission.
VIRTUAL EVENT
This workshop will be held virtually on Zoom over a series of sessions in August/September including August 4, 11, 18, 25 and September 1st. Participation in all sessions is required. Sessions will be held from 2-5 pm ET. Participants will be required to participate on video and audio.
ABOUT THE AWARD
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.
SUGGESTED PARTICIPANTS
Suggested participants for this workshop are administrators or executive directors and directors of nursing, 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.
