Coming soon: 2024 Eisenberg Awards application period opens Sept. 3

The Joint Commission and National Quality Forum will open the John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Awards application period on Sept. 3, 2024. These awards bring the quality community together to honor groundbreaking initiatives consistent with the aims of the national quality strategy: better care, healthy people and communities, and smarter spending.

Each year, the prestigious Eisenberg Awards recognize major achievements by individuals and organizations that improved patient safety and healthcare quality. Categories include:

• National Level Innovation in Patient Safety and Quality
• Local Level Innovation in Patient Safety and Quality
• Individual Achievement

This year's application has been revised to clarify question intent, offer examples, and re-order questions to better reflect the trajectory of a quality improvement initiative. Application resources including full eligibility criteria, sample application and an application tip sheet are available on The Joint Commission website.
