AHA announces new Quest for Quality Prize sponsor
The AHA Quest for Quality Prize will be back in 2018 with a new sponsor – health care software designer RL Solutions. Presented annually since 2002 to recognize health care leadership and innovation in improving quality and advancing health in communities, the prize was on hiatus for 2017 while the association reviewed and refreshed the prize criteria to better align with the emerging priorities and practices essential to advancing the delivery of high-quality, patient-centered health care. Health systems are now eligible to apply for the prize in addition to hospitals, with 2018 applications due Oct. 1. For more information and an application, click here.
