0You do it so well, now get recognition you deserve – Print News
We hear it all the time: When it comes to technology, healthcare is way behind compared to other industries.
And when you bring skilled nursing into the picture? Oh, brother, forget it. Theyâre the behind of the behind.
I believe the labels of inadequacy are overblown, or at least framed wrong, and Iâd like your help proving it.
Sure, the banking and computing industries may have mind-blowing computer security programs, and other industries may offer layer after layer of automation genius.
But think to yourself: How many hands do the players in those industries hold? How many hearts and lives do they enlarge? How often do they help an elderly, fragile person feel âat homeâ?Â
Largely, they donât. So thereâs no shaming when we want to talk about skilled nursing and tech. You simply use processes and formulas in different ways.
We want to hear about it. Hundreds of providers have told us in the past how they do care right. And theyâve been honored in the annual McKnightâs Excellence in Technology Awards program. Now, itâs your turn.
Rather than asking yourself, âHmmm, what great âtechieâ thing can we try to impress with?â Instead, ask: âWhat do we do particularly well?â Then work backwards and tell us how it happens.
The McKnightâs annual awards competition puts âtechnologyâ out front, but it emphasizes the ways long-term care providers improve care. You know all about care. Others donât.
Itâs time to tell us how it gets done. High-tech or low-tech, thereâs plenty at work that is praiseworthy. Donât be shy.
Check out our simple entry form at www.mcknightstechawards.com now. Thereâs no time to waste. Entries will be accepted until July 24.Â
The entry fee couldnât be less expensive (itâs free), but the payoff is priceless: National recognition for the great care you do.
The six categories have soft boundaries. Enter in one or more of them: Quality, High Tech/High Touch, Innovator of the Year, Keep It Super Simple, Safety, and Transitions. If you arenât doing something good in at least a few of these, you arenât in business.
Judges will recognize providers at the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Honorable Mention level.Â
Donât let others always get all the attention. Itâs your turn now.
