The Betsy Lehman Center for Patient Safety and Medical Error Reduction is seeking nominations for its patient safety award. This annual award was established in 2005 to recognize leadership and innovation in patient safety, including public awareness, education and promotion of systems-based solutions through the implementation of best practices. Eligible applicants and nominees include health care facilities, organizations and individuals.
The 2009 award will honor those persons/organizations that can demonstrate a safety culture throughout their entire organization with specific respect to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). The organization will have established a commitment to quality and safety and use data effectively to continually improve. The award nomination submissions are due November 30, 2009.
