AHCA/NCAL Announces 2019 Bronze National Quality Award Recipients

On June 4, 2019, 590 long term and post-acute care providers in 48 states were recognized with the 2019 Bronze - Commitment to Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL).  The Bronze award is the first of three distinctions possible through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which honors long term and post-acute care providers that have demonstrated their commitment to improving the quality of care for seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is also the basis of the metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative.  The Baldrige program helps organizations across different business sectors use strategies to improve performance and organizational effectiveness.  A full list of the recipients is available on the AHCA/NCAL Quality Award website here​.
