Friday is the deadline for the 2014 Franklin Award of Distinction for Transitions of Care application. Newly redesigned to account for recent changes in health care, the Franklin Award now extends its focus to recognize exemplary transitions of care in case management.
The Franklin Award is presented annually by ACMA and The Joint Commission to an organization that exhibits excellence and distinction in hospital/health system case management and transitions of care. Pursuing this national award for excellence in hospital case management and transitions of care provides a unique opportunity to promote the advancement and recognition of case management within your organization, as well as an opportunity to scrutinize your model and processes. Both ACMA and The Joint Commission encourage all organizations with distinctive case management departments to apply.
