Best Practices/Awards
Acclaim Award
This is AMGA's most prestigious quality award, honoring
physician-directed organizations that bring the American health care
system closer to a delivery model in which patients experience care
that is safer, more reliable, more responsive, more integrated, and
more readily available.
WHAT IS THE AMGA ACCLAIM AWARD?
 |
The AMGA Acclaim Award rewards medical groups who are
transforming their organizations to incorporate the Six Institute of
Medicine Aims for the 21st Century and provide health care
that is:
Safe - avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is
intended to help them
Effective - providing services based on scientific knowledge to
all who could benefit and refraining from providing services to those
not likely to benefit (avoiding underuse and overuse)
Patient Centered - providing care that is respectful of and
responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and
ensuring that patient values guide all decisions
Timely - reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both
those who receive and those who give care
Efficient - avoiding waste, in particular waste of equipment,
supplies, ideas, and energy
Equitable - providing care that does not vary in quality because
of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic
location, and socioeconomic status
