John Q. Sherman Award for Excellence in Patient Engagement Open for Nominations

DAYTON, Ohio & BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–EngagingPatients.org, an online community dedicated to sharing best
practices in patient and family engagement, opened nominations for the
2016 John Q. Sherman Award for Excellence in Patient Engagement today.

Established in 2014, the Sherman Award is dedicated to recognizing
innovative work that has resulted in better, safer care and improved
outcomes by engaging patients and families in their care. The award,
which is a partnership between EngagingPatients.org, the National
Patient Safety Foundation’s (NPSF) Lucian Leape Institute and Standard
Register Healthcare, will be conferred at the NPSF’s 18th
annual Patient Safety Congress in Scottsdale, Ariz. on May 24. The
winner will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Scottsdale for the
congress.

“Increasing attention on engaging patients and their personal support
networks signals a true shift in healthcare,” said Mark O’Leary, chair
of EngagingPatients.org’s advisory board and president of Standard
Register Healthcare. “Each project represents an organization’s
commitment to creating deep and lasting relationships by engaging and
activating patients and families across the continuum of care. We hope
showcasing these outstanding projects and caregivers will inspire more
patient and family-centered practices.”

Named for John Q. Sherman (1882-1939), founder of Standard Register and
philanthropist, the award is given to a program focused on enhancing
patient and family engagement. Programs will be judged on the degree to
which patient and families are involved in project design and
implementation; measurable results; sustainability; and the ability to
replicate the project.

“Patient and family engagement is essential to the delivery of safe and
appropriate health care,” said Tejal K. Gandhi, MD, MPH, CPPS, president
and CEO of the National Patient Safety Foundation and president of the
NPSF Lucian Leape Institute. “We are pleased to collaborate with
EngagingPatients.org to recognize those who have put successful
practices into place to partner with patients, and this award is a
wonderful way to share what they have learned.”

Nominations will be accepted through March 11. Work must have occurred
between January 1, 2014 and January 31, 2016. The official nomination
form and full details about criteria for the John Q. Sherman Award are
available at www.EngagingPatients.org/awardsubmissions.
