The Nebraska Hospital Association (www.nebraskahospitals.org), in partnership with Nebraska Health & Human Services, Nebraska QIO, and the Nebraska Association for Healthcare Quality, Risk, and Safety are pleased to once again offer the Nebraska Hospital Quality Improvement 2020 Quest for Excellence award. The Quest for Excellence award was developed by the Rural Quality Improvement Steering Committee. Members of this committee include representatives of Nebraska’s critical access hospitals (CAHs); network hospitals; Nebraska Health & Human Services; the Nebraska Association for Healthcare Quality, Risk, and Safety; the Nebraska Rural Health Association; and the Nebraska Hospital Association. The purpose of the award is to recognize Nebraska hospitals for their efforts to improve quality and patient care. Applications for the award close on August 5.

One winner will be selected from the entries submitted by CAHs, and one winner will be selected from the entries submitted by non-CAHs. An award of $1,000 will be given to each of the two winners. Each project submitted will be included in a poster presentation at the NHA’s Annual Convention in October 2020 and will be posted to the NHA’s website.
