Quest for Excellence Award Submissions 2019
As a means of recognizing outstanding work in the area of hospital quality and performance improvement in the state of Nebraska, the Nebraska Hospital Association, Great Plains Quality Innovation Network, Nebraska Health & Human Services’ Office of Rural Health and the Nebraska Association for Healthcare Quality, Risk and Safety, have come together to solicit applications for the Quest for Excellence Award. This award is presented during the Nebraska Hospital Association Annual Convention, which is held in the fall.
The Quest for Excellence Award is presented by these organizations to two Nebraska hospitals each year to recognize their achievements in improving health care delivery in the areas of quality, performance and patient safety. Created in 2004 to recognize hospitals’ individual and independent efforts, the award is designed to showcase innovative, exemplary and reproducible models of patient care to the health care community.
The need to demonstrate quality improvement is here… so is this incredible opportunity. Why not take the challenge? Regardless of your organization's past success, when you submit your application for the Quest for Excellence Award, you take another step toward quality and performance excellence.
