Health IT Innovation & Health IT Leader Awards
The Health IT Innovation and Health IT Leader of the Year Awards are presented at the annual Health Current Summit & Trade Show. The Health IT Innovation Award and the Health IT Leader Awards are non-monetary recognitions of achievement. These prestigious awards recognize a Health IT leader who demonstrates leadership in the use of health information technology as well as an organization that develops or demonstrates innovative uses of health information technology, both to achieve the Triple Aim of better care, better outcomes and lower costs. All recipients will be recognized through Health Current promotions.

The judging panel will screen all nomination applications received by the deadline and determine that each nominee has met the eligibility requirements and criteria for innovative and interoperable uses of health technology in population health management. The judging panel will then select the awardees by scoring each eligible nominee according to each criteria category.
