It's time again for the John Q. Sherman Award for Excellence in Patient Engagement.
This
year’s award will be conferred by Standard Register Healthcare in
partnership with the National Patient Safety Foundation’s (NPSF) Lucian
Leape Institute at the 2015 NPSF Patient Safety Congress in Austin,
Texas on April 30 and the award-winning program will be featured on EngagingPatients.org.
Last
year the award was given to the Open Notes Collaborative and Dr. Nasia
Safdar, hospital epidemiologist for the University of Wisconsin
Hospital.
Who was Mr. Sherman? Here's background:
Founder of Standard Register, John Q. Sherman was a leading
philanthropist in Dayton, Ohio with a deep commitment to healthcare and
his community. At the onset of the Great Depression in 1928, he led the campaign to
raise over one million dollars in just 30 days to build Good Samaritan
Hospital. He left a legacy that lives on today through the company’s
support of Dayton’s Samaritan Homeless Clinic, in the launching of
EngagingPatients.org and now through the John Q. Sherman Award program.
This year's deadline is February 28. Here are the details.
