CSP SEEKING NOMINATIONS FOR 2018 HEALTH INNOVATION AWARDS: Awards Focus on Improving Patient Care and Advocating Healthy Living
This year’s province-wide awards recognize and celebrate health care system initiatives across the province in four categories:
• patient-centred care, to recognize an initiative that directly results in improved processes, clinical approaches and the culture of patient-centred care in front-line services, such as access to care, quality of care and overall patient experience;
• health system improvement, to recognize creative and pioneering efforts that have resulted in process improvements;
• the Mino Bimaadiziwin Innovation Award for Healthy Living, to recognize an individual or group that has enhanced healthy living activities among Manitobans; and
• the Enid Thompson Award for Health Care Innovation, to recognize an individual who initiated outstanding change that has had a positive effect on patient care in the publicly funded health-care system.
Nominees will demonstrate how their work has advanced and improved care, and how they are sharing what they learned within Manitoba to ensure long-term success.
We are looking to submit one nomination from the Cardiac Sciences Program.
If you have an idea for a nomination (and would be willing to do some of the legwork to support your nominee) get your suggestion to me asap.
More information on the awards and nomination instructions are available at www.gov.mb.ca/health/awards. Nominations will be accepted until Sept. 17 and the winners will be announced later this year.
