Reminder: Apply for 2022 John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Awards by Sept. 14

This year’s application for the John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Awards is now open through Sept. 14. For more than two decades, the award program has recognized the nation’s top individuals and organizations in healthcare for their boundary-breaking work to improve patient safety and quality of care.

Awardees are recognized by The Joint Commission and National Quality Forum in three categories:

• Individual achievement
• National-level innovation
• Local-level innovation

The individual award is intended for nominees who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and scholarship in patient safety and healthcare quality through a substantive body of work.

Initiatives or projects eligible for the National and Local Level awards will have involved successful system changes or interventions that make the environment of care safer or that advocate on the patient’s behalf. These innovative efforts may address new technologies, protocols, procedures, education, organizational culture, legislation, the media, patient advocacy, systems theory, or another area. Organizations applying must provide at minimum one year (12 months) of data supporting the improvement made by the featured initiative.
