​The Quality Initiative Recognition Program is designed to recognize AHCA nursing center members that demonstrate the attainment of one or more of the four AHCA Quality Initiative goals.

To be recognized for achieving the Staff Stability goal of a 15% reduction in nursing staff turnover, nursing centers must submit their staff turnover data to AHCA through the Association’s 2011 and 2012 annual Nursing Facility Staffing Surveys. Improvement will be based on a comparison of 2011 and 2012 survey results. Already submitted your center’s staffing data for 2011 and 2012? Then you do not need to resubmit, and AHCA will review your data.

The deadline to submit staffing turnover data for the program is Monday, July 15, 2013.
