The 2012 AHCA/NCAL Bronze, Silver and Gold National Quality Award application packets are now available on the Quality Award website. Applicants at all levels are encouraged to download the application packet and start the application process early. The 2012 deadlines are as follows:

• Intent to apply deadline — January 12, 2012
• Bronze application deadline — February 15, 2012
• Silver and Gold application deadline — March 1, 2012

Please keep in mind that all deadlines are at 8 p.m. EST.

In addition, two important changes have been made to the Silver application process.

• Silver criteria: The Silver criteria have historically focused on the core values and concepts of the Baldrige criteria. The Silver criteria have now shifted to reflect the Baldrige criteria directly. This shift in the criteria will allow participants to begin understanding and focusing on the Baldrige criteria at the Silver level.
• Silver pre-screening protocol: All Silver applications will be subject to a pre-screening process prior to being forwarded to the examiner teams for review. Applications that do not meet the pre-screen criteria will receive a foundational feedback report.
