Based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which is also the foundation of the metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative, AHCA/NCAL's National Quality Award Program challenges member providers to achieve performance excellence through three progressive levels—Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
Providers begin the quality improvement process at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile with essential performance elements and demonstrate their ability to implement a performance improvement system. At the Silver level, members develop and demonstrate effective approaches that help improve performance and health care outcomes.
Recipients of the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award may now move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance levels that meet the criteria required for the Gold - Excellence in Quality Award.
Earlier this year, the winners of the Bronze awards were announced. A list of Georgia's Bronze award recipients is available on the GHCA/GCAL website. The awards will be presented during AHCA/NCAL's 68th Annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 15-18, 2017.
