The HSCQI Awards are an opportunity to showcase, regionally, your achievements in the field of quality improvement. The response to the HSCQI Awards from teams throughout the HSC Trust in Northern Ireland was outstanding.
HSCQI congratulated all the teams who were shortlisted and announced the winners of the prestigious HSCQI Quality Improvement Awards 2020 in a virtual celebration event held on 24 June. The celebration went brilliantly and was a much needed reminder of the fantastic work of colleagues even during the most unprecedented of times.
Dr Aideen Keaney, Director of HCSQI who recently had the opportunity to meet with the award winning teams commented:
“The response to the HSCQI Awards has been outstanding. Applications were received from across many parts of our Health and Social Care system. The judging panel commended the high standard of entry from each of the shortlisted teams, who had described the improvement initiatives that they had led on, some even doing so during the Covid-19 pandemic. The improvement awards recognise the dedication and passion of all of the teams and demonstrate how using a quality improvement (QI) approach to these initiatives has resulted in improvements in patient care. Many of the shortlisted teams were able to evidence these improvements with data and measures.
These improvement initiatives also illustrate how staff from across our Health and Social Care system, are now applying their QI expertise to their work and that this is occurring across many parts of the system. I want to thank everyone who entered. All the finalists and all the category winners deserve our collective congratulations for the success of their improvement initiatives.”
