Achieving a universally recognized state of quality in a long term care organization is certainly no simple feat. From the challenge of implementing established standards of quality criteria, to management theory teaching that quality care and service yield operational success, to consumer advocate groups who point out the relationship between facility leadership stability and higher quality —long term care professionals face unique challenges when it comes to the issues of quality performance.
Given this, ACHCA’s endless journey in advancing excellence in long term care leadership leads them to seek and acknowledge those individuals who have achieved a demonstrated measure of clinical achievement, good service, compliance excellence, reduced liability exposure, and commercial success. Rising to not only meet, but to exceed, all of these challenges is undeniably a remarkable accomplishment that is achieved only by those who possess stellar leadership capabilities.
To identify those top-performing organizations whose administrators are eligible for the Facility Leadership Award, eHealth Data Solutions, a long term care data and information company based in Cleveland, Ohio, analyzed national, publicly available MDS and Survey data from CMS and proceeded to rank order it within each state. Based on this analysis, the top performing Medicare certified skilled nursing facilities and their administrators have been identified to receive this leadership recognition on behalf of their organization.
