HOOPP Award for Leading Innovation in Front Line Care

In 2010 HOOPP was awarded one of the 10 Most Admired Corporate Culture Awards via a program that recognizes Canadian organizations for having a culture that has helped them enhance their performance and sustain a competitive advantage.

HOOPP believes that great people create great cultures, and great cultures create an advantage that helps generate outstanding results.

We are accepting nominations for the “HOOPP Award for Leading Innovation in Front Line Care”.

This award will recognize the vision and leadership of a team of front line healthcare workers who have broken down barriers to create innovation that led to improvements in patient care.

The award will consist of a team dinner (5 people) hosted by HOOPP at a local Toronto restaurant where HOOPP and the winning team can talk about the factors that fostered their innovation.

HOOPP will also feature the winning team and award on its website and newsletter that goes out to 250,000 HOOPP members. HOOPP will also provide award plaques to the team members and send a letter of recognition to your hospital board and management team recognizing your achievements.

Please consider carefully how your nominated team exemplifies innovation in patient care leading to improved leadership, empowerment, interprofessional team development, and improved quality care.

Requirements:
Nomination form, letter(s) of reference describing how the team meets the award criteria
