“We are proud of our 33 centers that have been honored for their
commitment to improving quality,” said George V. Hager, Jr., Chief
Executive Officer of Genesis HealthCare. “These centers join more
than 200 Genesis centers is reaching this great achievement.
Working together to reach this milestone has made our team even
better. We will not stop improving.”
The National Quality Award Program, established by AHCA/NCAL in
1996, is based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige
Performance Excellence Program, which also serves as the foundation
for the metric-based AHCA/NCAL Quality Initiative. The Baldrige
framework helps organizations among different business sectors
improve organizational effectiveness and achieve strategy-driven
performance.
The Award Program has three 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 such as vision, mission statement, and key
strengths and challenges. Bronze applicants must also demonstrate
their ability to implement a performance improvement system.
Trained Examiners review each Bronze application to determine if
the center has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of
the Bronze - Commitment to Quality Award, these centers may now
move forward in developing approaches and achieving performance
levels that meet the Silver - Achievement in Quality Award
criteria.
“I applaud Genesis HealthCare’s 33 Centers for taking this
important step towards quality improvement,” said the AHCA/NCAL
National Quality Award Board of Overseers Chair Alana Wolfe. “I
encourage each of them to continue on its path to achieving the
highest of quality care.”
The awards will be presented during AHCA/NCAL’s 70th Convention
& Expo in Orlando, Florida, October 13-16,
2019._______________________________________________________________________Genesis
