What to Think About?
Think about projects, activities or events you have been involved in recently. Did the nominee do something imaginative such as thinking outside the box creatively to solve a problem quickly? Did the nominee show great determination in completing a task ahead of schedule or by reducing costs? Was the nominee innovative in their approach to solving patient or family needs or assisting a colleague? Did they proactively encourage new approaches?
We ask all nominators to clearly describe the specific reasons for nominating an award based on the above guidelines when placing the nomination.
| "High Five" 0 points |
"Thumbs Up" 600 points |
"Cheers" 1,500 points |
"Standing Ovation" 2,500 points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Give someone a High Five as a “thank you” for a job well done that doesn’t require a substantiated metric or documented contribution. Examples: Identification of safety catches, great customer service, engagement and positive contributions to our organization culture. |
Give some a “Thumbs Up” for a tangible, documented contribution to productivity, Patient Family Experience, quality, safety and efficiency. Examples: Membership on task forces or steering committees, identification of safety interventions, product recalls, going above and beyond a job well done by providing an outstanding service for others. |
Give someone a "Cheers" award as an individual contributor to Patient Family Experience, quality, positivity, having invested significant time and personal effort to drive organizational change or be a positive cultural influence. Examples: Someone who stands above their peers in their work, can be shown in their cultural commitment to service and quality, leadership or significant contributions to hospital committees. |
Give someone a "Standing Ovation" award for being a leader of a multi-disciplinary team, driver of major Corporate Goals, support for Vision 2025, or positive contributions to Patient Family Experience, our culture, and service with widespread organizational impact. |
