Entries open for EHI’s annual awards

Entries are now open for the EHI Awards 2012 in association with BT.

This year’s awards have 11 categories, including three new awards for ‘outstanding work in imaging informatics’, ‘innovation in healthcare integration’, and the EHI CCIO Campaign award for clinical IT leadership.’

EHealth Insider readers can also nominate colleagues for the Healthcare IT Champion of the Year award, which is decided by the votes of EHI readers.

EHI editor Jon Hoeksma said: "With more categories and an expectation of high entry numbers, the EHI Awards 2012 in association with BT promise to be a highlight of the year.

"The clinical leadership award is an extension of the work we have done over the past year to raise awareness of the need for chief clinical information officers in the NHS, to make sure that frontline users have a real say in how their IT is run.

"Alongside all the categories that seek out excellence among healthcare IT professionals and suppliers, it is great that there will be a formal recognition of outstanding informatics work done by doctors, nurses and other clinical staff."

The awards will be judged by a panel of industry experts led by the managing director of NHS Informatics at the Department of Health, Katie Davis.

She said: “All over the UK there are clinicians working with IT specialists to provide smart ways of doing things better for patients.

"It is important that others can learn from their work and I look forward to helping bring attention to their successes.”

Huw Owen, president of BT Health, said: “BT is delighted to continue our support for the EHI Awards, which continue to go from strength to strength.

"The new categories reflect the pivotal role that the healthcare IT industry is playing in helping the NHS rise to the challenges it faces on cost-efficiencies, productivity and business transformation."

The deadline for entries is 1 June 2012 at 4pm. The awards will be presented on Thursday, 4 October 2012 at the Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden, London.
