Overview

Presenters Tammy Kelly and Wendy Walter will introduce the integrated performance excellence model based on the Baldrige Excellence Framework for Health Care Criteria. Then they will discuss the performance improvement and performance excellence framework specific to skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities and how these core concepts and foundations of a performance excellence model align with QAPI and facility performance improvement processes. You will also learn how to assess your center’s current status.
