AHCA/NCAL: Submit Your 2024 National Quality Award Intent to Apply Today
The first 100 ITAs received will be entered in a giveaway to win a Complimentary 2024 Application Fee!
The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award program team is pleased to announce that the 2024 National Quality Award Intent to Apply (ITA) is now open!
We encourage applicants who plan to apply for a National Quality Award in 2024 to submit an ITA before the deadline on Thursday, November 16, 2023.
WHY SUBMIT AN ITA?
Submitting your ITA helps 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 we receive to improve your overall experience.
Submitting an ITA earns applicants a discounted application fee.*
Best of all. The first 100 ITAs we receive will be entered to win a complimentary application fee for the 2024 National Quality Award cycle!
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?
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! 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.
