Dear Colleagues,
Medicine begins and ends with the patient. That recognition underpins all our efforts to deliver the highest-quality patient- and family-centered health care. To honor those physicians and teams who embody the best in clinical excellence, the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians is launching an annual clinical awards program, The Johns Hopkins Medicine Clinical Awards for Physicians and Care Teams.
Beginning this fall, awards will be presented in six categories: Physician of the Year, Innovations in Clinical Care, the Armstrong Award for Excellence in Quality and Safety, Excellence in Service and Professionalism, Clinical Collaboration and Teamwork, and Best Consulting Physician. For calendar year 2015, the awards program is open to physicians and care teams associated with The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Howard County General Hospital, Sibley Memorial Hospital, Suburban Hospital and Johns Hopkins Community Physicians. In subsequent years, awards will be granted to physicians and care teams throughout Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Winners will be announced by June 30 and will be recognized at the annual meeting of the Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians in the fall of 2015.
Nominations are accepted through Friday, May 1, 2015, and may be submitted by anyone with a JHED ID. Supporting documentation, such as data or presentations, is encouraged.
Do you have a colleague or team of colleagues whose clinical work is exemplary? To submit your nomination, visit www.hopkinsmedicine.org/clinical-awards.
