The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is pleased to announce that the 2025 National Quality Award Intent to Apply (ITA) and Quality Award Portal are now open!
We encourage applicants who plan to apply for a National Quality Award in 2025 to submit an ITA before the deadline on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
WHY SUBMIT AN ITA? Submitting your ITA assists us and you! ITAs help us to determine the approximate number of applicants that intend to apply for a National Quality Award. This allows us to continue to improve our process for reviewing the applications and to improve your overall experience.
DISCOUNTED FEEApplicants that submit an ITA receive a discounted application fee.*
EXCLUSIVE ITA RESOURCES Submitting an ITA also affords applicants access to exclusive resources specific to assist with the application process.
COMMITEMENT TO QUALITYAn ITA submission demonstrates to your communities, workforces, and residents that your organization is committed to continuous quality improvement and quality care.
While submission of an ITA is voluntary and will have no impact on an applicant's consideration, we encourage long term and post-acute care providers to declare their intent to apply.
HOW LONG DOES THIS TAKE? If you are connected and verified in the Quality Award application Portal, it should not take any more than 10 minutes from start to finish. If you are ahead of everyone else and are verified in the Portal, it should not take any more than 5 minutes.
