This Thursday, July 7, is the final deadline to enter the 2022 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards.
The annual contest, which is free to enter, is a joint program of McKnight’s Senior Living and its sister brands, McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, which focuses on skilled nursing, and McKnight’s Home Care.
Senior Living is one of three tracks in which winners will be recognized (Skilled Nursing and Home Care are the others). All providers are eligible. Each track will have four categories, with Gold, Silver and Bronze awards being presented in each category as warranted:
- Quality – Winning entries will describe the technology involved and how it was applied to improve the quality of care or services.
- Innovator of the Year – Winning entries will describe how technological innovation was key to the entry’s success and how it made a difference in the provision of care or services or the bottom line.
- KISS (Keep It Super Simple) – Winning entries will describe a simple but effective application of technology that improved the provision of care, services or operations.
- Building Bridges – Winning entries will describe the ways in which an operator is using technology to improve connections between staff members and residents and/or their families.
Nominations will be judged by a panel of experts. The awards program is open to care/service providers only (not vendors).
Once again, the awards program will be part of the virtual McKnight’s Tech Awards + Summit, this year on Oct. 4. In addition to the announcement of the winners, the accompanying summit will offer educational webinars. Winners also will be recognized at an in-person celebration Oct. 17 in Denver. Stay tuned for additional information about those events.
