Bring Your QUALITY IMPROVEMENT Team!
The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program provides a pathway for providers of long term care services to journey towards performance excellence. The program is based on core values and criteria of the Baldridge Performance Excellence Program. The Quality Award program has three progressive step levels. This seminar will cover the first level, Bronze – Commitment to Quality. Bronze Award applicants begin their quality journey by developing an organizational profile including vision and mission statements, an awareness of their environment and customers’ expectations, and a demonstration of their ability to improve a process. Participants will respond to all 21 Criteria of the 2018 Bronze Award. Using case study, lecture, videos, sharing and feedback, participants will work on completing a Bronze application for their facility during the workshop.
