CSP News

The call for nominations for this year’s Health Innovation Award for Patient Centred Care was just received. This annual award recognizes initiatives that have directly resulted in positive improvements to processes, clinical approaches, and the culture of patient-centred care. We have a number of initiatives worthy of recognition. I would encourage you to consider completing a form to support the nomination of a worthy initiative (including those of your own).

For submission of a nomination you would have 2 options: 1) submitting the form directly, 2) submitting the form to us  (i.e., to Janessa- jkaus@sbgh.mb.ca) for potential submission by CSP.  Depending on the number of nominations submitted to us we would plan to forward up to 3 nominations in the name of the Program (which presumably would have more impact).  If you choose the 2nd route (i.e., through CSP) you would need to get the completed form back to us by NO LATER than Sept 3.  If you choose the CSP route and your nomination is not chosen by us to move forward in the name of the Program we would let you know prior to the Sept 10 deadline so you could still choose to submit it directly.
Thanks for considering.
