Avantara Ipswich Administrator, Ted Huss has been honored with the prestigious 2019 Eli Pick Facility Leadership Award from the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHCA)
Huss was one of the eight South Dakota finalists.
Each year, ACHCA recognizes the leaders of top-performing Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF's) across the country through the Eli Pick Facility Leadership Award (EPFLA).
This year, 1,111 Administrators were nominated based on data-driven criteria used to objectively identify high-performing skilled nursing facilities and the leaders who serve as catalyst for excellence and inspire their leadership teams to consistently exhibit quality care to their residents.
Only 7% of high performing skilled nursing facilities qualify nationwide.
The Eli Pick Facility Leadership Award (EPFLA) was introduced in 2008 by one of ACHCA’s most revered leaders, the late Eli Pick. A former executive director of the Ballard Rehabilitation Center, DesPlaines, Ill. for over 30 years, Eli embodied excellence as an Administrator that cared for his residents, their families, and his community.
Based on the premise that facility excellence reflects leadership excellence, this award recognizes the administrator of record who provided such leadership for the full 2018 calendar year. Eligibility for this award is based on three years of skilled nursing facility (SNF) survey data, including the Health, Fire Safety and Complaint Surveys, as well as top quartile performance on designated Quality Measures.
