The Urgent Care Association (UCA) has announced the recipients of the 2020 Urgent Care Foundation Awards, which recognize professionals and organizations leading the way in advancing the on-demand care industry forward. The recipients will be celebrated at the annual awards dinner during the UCA2020 Urgent Care Convention & Expo on May 4, 2020, at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

In addition to its existing annual awards, the event will introduce the Becky Burress Unsung Heroes Award, which was created to honor the life, service and passion of the late Becky Burress. Burress will be the inaugural recipient of the award, presented posthumously. She was the first paid employee of UCA and most recently the administrative director for the North East Regional Urgent Care Association (NERUCA) before her death in July of this year.

“Becky Burress was a dedicated and beloved leader for the urgent care industry,” said Laurel Stoimenoff, CEO of UCA. “She was always the first person to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of others. The award will be a permanent tribute to her career contributions and the essential efforts of so many dedicated professionals in our industry.”

The 2020 Urgent Care Foundation Award recipients include:

• 
  Humanitarian Award – Lynda Gerberg, MD, lead pediatrician for Cohen Children’s Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care in Queens, N.Y., will receive this award, which recognizes significant medical volunteer work that has a positive impact on a national or international cause or event. Dr. Gerberg formed the medical relief group Love4 to provide healthcare support and supplies to communities devastated by hurricanes, including those in Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.
• Lifetime Membership Award – Two active members will receive lifetime memberships in UCA for their significant contributions. Pam Sullivan, MD, MBA, FACP, PT, past UCA president and current chief clinical officer at Landmark Health in Honeoye Falls, N.Y., has made it her mission to provide quality healthcare to all patients through an integrated system that values the convenience, accessibility and affordability of urgent care. Eric McDonald, co-founder and CEO of DocuTap in Sioux Falls, S.D., demonstrates his commitment to patients and providers by staying ahead of healthcare technology trends and developing solutions to increase efficiency and collaboration.
• Outstanding Achievement Award – David Stern, MD, CEO of Experity, one of the founding members of UCA and an active member of the Urgent Care Foundation Board from Belvidere, Ill., will be rewarded for his impact on the industry. Dr. Stern created an urgent care-specific electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management software company, Practice Velocity, which recently merged with DocuTAP to join forces and improve technologies available to urgent care providers.
• Quality and Safety Awards – Two individuals will be recognized for their significant efforts to improve quality and safety in urgent care medicine. Frank Illuzzi, MD, CPE, FACEP, chief medical officer of CityMD in New York City, is an active member of the UCA Antibiotic Stewardship Committee and chair of the 2020 UCA Clinical Consortium Committee which convenes an annual two-day meeting of top urgent care executives and public health organizations to address some of the most important issues affecting the industry. Dr. Illuzzi is also an active member of the UCA Antibiotic Stewardship Committee, has contributed to the Urgent Care Foundation’s Diabetes Screening research study and helped create the Urgent Care Fellowship program. Amanda Montalbano, MD, MPH from Independence, Mo., established the largest database on pediatric urgent care centers across the nation, Organization for Urgent Care Health (OUCH), and led the first-ever nationwide collaborative quality improvement project on antibiotic stewardship within pediatric urgent care.

“The Foundation Celebration shines a spotlight on those who help shape our ever-changing industry,” said Dr. Richard Park, UCA board president, founder and CEO of CityMD. “The event not only acknowledges all the hard work of those nominated, but inspires others to push their teams to reach new levels of excellence.”

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
December 11, 2019

Chief Nursing Information Officers (CNIOs) and Chief Medical Information Officers (CMIOs) from 26 leading healthcare organizations gathered Sept. 18-20 in Chicago for the Scottsdale Institute 2019 CNIO and CMIO Summits to discuss care standardization, how to reduce the cognitive burden of the EMR, data quality, documentation, managing CDS content and improving clinician satisfaction.

The CNIO and CMIO Summits were hosted by Scottsdale Institute, a not-for-profit membership organization of health systems advanced in IT, and sponsored by Impact Advisors, a healthcare IT consultancy, and LogicStream Health, a leading provider of clinical process improvement and control software. As Scottsdale Institute’s first combined CNIO/CMIO agenda, the Summits placed special emphasis on developing strong partnerships between CNIOs and CMIOs and resulted in a single, combined white paper.

The CNIO/CMIO Summit Report, “Care Standardization: Why and How to Make this Work,” highlights the conversations and lessons learned from the event. A copy of the report is available for download through the Scottsdale Institute, Impact Advisors and LogicStream Health websites.

“Scottsdale Institute’s mission is to convene the right executives to discuss the right issues facing healthcare leaders in today’s fast-paced, tech-enabled world,” says Janet Guptill, Executive Director of the Scottsdale Institute. “Bringing together our member CNIOs and CMIOs released remarkable energy and excitement about harmonizing the CDS-supported care process – a collaboration so vital to standardizing care across the nation.”

“We were excited to be a part of this Summit, as many takeaways and next steps emerged from the discussions and collaboration around the topic of care standardization,” said Angela R. Tiberio, MD, Physician Executive at Impact Advisors. “Attendees agreed that serving as a CMIO or CNIO places them in a unique position to very positively impact some of healthcare’s biggest challenges, including optimizing processes for maximal quality, safety, value and access, as well as provider and patient satisfaction. Attendees identified several key focus areas for the future, including continued venues for CMIO/CNIO collaboration; benchmarking and analytics to demonstrate “success”; addressing clinician/physician burnout; and advancing the overall profession. We look forward to seeing where these conversations lead us over the next year and beyond.”

“The burden of variation in clinical documentation and the lack of standardization is clearly a problem for healthcare providers today,” said Luis Saldaña, MD, CMIO LogicStream Health. “The Summit was a highly productive forum for numerous leading CNIOs and CMIOs to connect and share excellent insights about ways to address this problem in their respective organizations. As a group, we committed to continuing the conversation and advancing our collective efforts to set the standard for driving improvement across all of healthcare.”
