The MHA is accepting nominations for its annual Advancing Safe Care Award to recognize Michigan hospitals that are tackling issues daily to make care safer and more dependable. Eligible nominees include teams from hospitals across the state dedicated to transparency regarding the quality of care provided to their patients and providing unmatched care to different patient populations. Nominations for the 2024 award will be accepted through April 26.
The award honors teams within MHA-member hospitals who are committed to providing quality care to diverse socioeconomic populations, promoting transparency within organizations, leading the charge for quality improvement and achieving better outcomes due to strong culture of safety. The award does not limit the number of team members who can be included in the nomination.
Judging for this award is based on four criteria:
- Reducing health disparities among specific patient populations.
- Supporting a learning culture committed to trust, feedback and higher problem-solving.
- Evidence of transparency among care teams, with patients and families and with community stakeholders.
- Improving safety by creating high degrees of psychological and physical safety.
