AHCA/NCAL Announces 2019 Silver National Quality Award Recipients

On June 27, 2019, AHCA/NCAL announced the 183 long term and post-acute care providers in 42 states and the District of Columbia that have earned the 2019 Silver - Achievement in Quality Award.  The award is the second of three distinctions possible through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which recognizes providers across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to improving quality of care in long term and post-acute care.

Based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program challenges member providers to achieve excellence in quality through three progressive levels—Bronze, Silver and Gold. Members at the Silver award level develop and demonstrate effective approaches that help improve performance and quality outcomes.

This year’s Silver recipients may now apply for the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award by further developing comprehensive strategies that meet the demands of the full Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence.  A full list of Silver and Bronze recipients is available on the AHCA/NCAL Quality Award website here.  The 2019 Gold award recipients will be announced later this summer.

The 2019 program is sponsored by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Members: First Quality, NRC Health, Team TSI Corporation, and MatrixCare. Recipient organizations will be honored during AHCA/NCAL’s 70th Convention & Expo​, October 13-16, 2019 in Orlando, Florida.
