AHA Baxter Healthcare National Innovation Awards 2006

The Annual AHA Baxter Healthcare National Innovation Awards are awarded to organisations for innovative service development within the Australian healthcare industry.

 

The awards are presented in three categories of innovative service development:


1. Innovative management practices that result in measurable improvements in health outcomes for a defined client or population group.


2. Innovative practices in a clinical service that result in measurable improvements to the safety and quality of patients receiving care in that service.


3. Innovative consumer involvement in the design, development and evaluation of a service resulting in measurable, ongoing consumer participation in that service.

 

Nominations are called for annually and are presented at the AHA National Congress

Applications are assessed by an independent panel convened by the Australian Healthcare Association.

 

Criteria for assessment of nominations are:

1. Is the service truly innovative?
2. Does the service development have national applicability?
3. What evidence is presented to support the results and is it robust?

 

The Awards are proudly sponsored by Baxter Healthcare.

 

Enquiries about the awards should be directed to the AHA Executive Directo on 02 6162 0780 or admin@aushealthcare.com.au
