It’s here. The deadline to enter the 2023 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards is today.
The good news is, it doesn’t take too much to fill out an entry form in this prestigious recognition program — and there’s no cost to enter four of the five categories.
The no-cost entries are being accepted in these categories: Quality, Innovator of the Year, KISS (Keep It Super Simple), Building Bridges and Tech Partner of the Year. Winners will be named in each of three tracks — skilled nursing, senior living and home care. Winning entries will be recognized for technology uses that improve efficiency, demonstrate innovative thinking or harness new tools to benefit residents and staff members.
Also back again is the Technology Partner of the Year award, an all-division award covering skilled nursing, senior living or home care.
Finalists in each category will be announced Aug. 23, with a virtual summit and awards ceremony to follow Sept. 20. An in-person celebration will take place Nov. 6 in Chicago.
This annual showcase is a free opportunity for providers to demonstrate leadership and outside-the-box thinking when it comes to today’s tech. Submissions don’t have to involve complicated or costly devices or programs. The national, independent panel of judges is interested in clever approaches that lead to smarter workflows and better quality of life.
See this site for more details on categories and rules. Vendors are eligible to enter only the Tech Partner of the Year category.
The Sept. 20 virtual McKnight’s Technology Summit will feature educational webinars. A full agenda will be announced at a later date.
Winners will be recognized across McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, McKnight’s Senior Living and McKnight’s Home Care and all their social and traditional media platforms.
