Press Ganey, renowned leader in patient, member, employee and consumer experience across the healthcare ecosystem, is partnering with The DAISY Foundation to seamlessly integrate exceptional nurse recognition into the patient feedback experience. The DAISY Foundation’s mission is to express gratitude to nurses with recognition programs that celebrate the extraordinary, compassionate, and skillful care they provide patients and families.
Press Ganey will include DAISY Award® nomination information within its patient experience (PX) surveys, beginning with Emory Hospital in Atlanta and the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, which are both piloting the new partnership. Press Ganey will make this option available to the more than 5,400 healthcare facilities that partner with DAISY.
Nurses highlighted through patient survey feedback will be instantly nominated for The DAISY Award® for Extraordinary Nurses. Both digital and physical copies of the Press Ganey patient experience survey will include a direct way to nominate these outstanding nurses for The DAISY Award.
Said Bonnie Barnes, Co-founder of The DAISY Foundation,“Press Ganey will be an invaluable partner in increasing the reach of our mission to celebrate nursing excellence across the country.
Dr. Deborah Zimmerman, chief executive officer, The DAISY Foundation added, “Commemorating and highlighting exceptional work leads to greater staff engagement and team morale, which have never been more crucial for frontline healthcare workers. Through our partnership, we can provide simple and easy access to The DAISY Award nomination process for patients and their families, ensuring more outstanding nurses will be recognized every year.”
The DAISY Award is one of the most prestigious, meaningful nursing recognitions in our industry because the nominations come directly from the patients who receive incredible care from our country’s frontline nursing staff
