2026 Quality Award Silver Examiner Program Webinar

Join us for a webinar on Wednesday, October 8, from 1-2 pm EST to learn about the AHCANCAL Silver Examiner Program, hosted by Silver Examiner, Robin Nicholson.

The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program recognizes long-term and post-acute care centers across the nation that strive to improve quality care. The progressive program, based on the Baldrige Performance Excellence criteria, sets high standards for quality and encourages centers to commit to excelling in quality performance. Volunteer Silver and Gold Examiners work on teams to evaluate applications, using a formal process established by AHCA/NCAL, including using the Scoring Calibration Guidelines, developed by Mark Blazey.
