The AHCA/NCAL Quality Award Program provides a pathway toward excellence for long-term care providers. The program is based on the core values of the Baldridge Performance Excellence Program, and it has three progressive levels. The seminar will cover the first level, Bronze – Commitment to Quality. Bronze Award applicants develop an organizational profile, including vision and mission statements, an awareness of their environment and customers’ expectations, and a demonstration of their ability to improve the process. Using a case study, lecture, videos, and feedback, participants will work on completing a Bronze application for their facility.

• Understand the technical requirements of the application process and the re-certification policy of the Awards Program
