AHCA/NCAL has been made aware of a nationwide Microsoft system outage that occurred on November 12, 2026. This outage may have affected some members’ ability to submit their Intent to Apply for the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award. To ensure that all members have the opportunity to submit their Intent to Apply, we are extending the submission deadline to Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The AHCA/NCAL team is committed to ensuring every member has the time and opportunity needed to submit their ITA. Thank you for your continued dedication to quality improvement and your pursuit of excellence.
A few helpful reminders:
- Not all applicants have been affected, and many have already submitted their Intent to Apply. To verify that your Intent to Apply has already been submitted, you can do one of the following:
- Confirm that you received a confirmation from PayPal (service@paypal.com)
- Confirm that you see a discounted application fee is available under your products
Thank you for your continued dedication to quality care and for being part of the Quality Award community!
