The HIE Excellence Awards (formerly the Health IT Awards) are presented at the Annual HIE Summit & Trade Show in Arizona and the Annual HIE Summit in Colorado. The HIE Excellence Awards are non-monetary recognitions of achievement for an organization and individual leader. These prestigious awards recognize a Health IT leader who demonstrates leadership in the use of health information technology, as well as an organization that develops or demonstrates innovative uses of health information technology, to achieve the Quadruple Aim of better outcomes, lower costs, and improving both the patient and provider experience. All recipients will be recognized through Contexture promotions.
Judging Committee
The independent judging committee will screen all nomination applications received by the deadline and determine whether each nominee has met the eligibility requirements and criteria for innovative and interoperable uses of health technology in population health management. The committee will then score each eligible nominee according to category criteria and select the awardees.
