This annual award is presented by the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine to a health professional or not-for-profit organization involved in developing programs and strategies for innovation in practice improvement by transforming office processes, promoting patient participation, and contributing to an office practice's overall success. The award seeks to acknowledge creative, cutting-edge strategies developed to effectively redesign an office-based practice and promote patient participation and practice growth. In addition to innovation and creativity, submissions will be judged on the demonstrated capacity to streamline office and patient processes, and to positively impact patient behavior. Recipients receive a commemorative plaque, plus a cash award of $500, and a $300 stipend for travel expenses to the Conference on Practice Improvement. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact STFM at (800) 274-2237, ext. 5412.
