Award Recipients Announced for: Innovator of
the Year Award, Nurse of the Year Award and Inaugural Physician of
the Year
Press Ganey Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PGND) today announced the
recipients of three prestigious awards, the Innovator of the Year
Award, the Nurse of the Year Award and the Inaugural Physician of
the Year award, at its 2015 National Client Conference in
Orlando, Florida.
Dr. Rod Hochman, President and CEO of Providence Health and
Services, was awarded the 2015 Press Ganey Innovator of the Year
Award, which recognizes individuals who have dedicated their
careers to reducing patient suffering and advancing the industry.
Providence Health and Services is one of the largest non-profit
health systems and serves some of the most vulnerable patients in
the United States. As President and CEO, Dr. Hochman ensures that
this patient population, which historically has been underserved,
has access to exceptional health care across the continuum. Under
his visionary leadership, Dr. Hochman has also led Providence
Health and Services toward a next generation care model that
recognizes the evolving patterns of how and where patients receive
care, and focused the organization’s efforts on population health
management.
“The Innovator of the Year Award recognizes an accomplished
leader with an unwavering commitment to transforming the health
care industry,” said Patrick T. Ryan, CEO of Press Ganey. “I cannot
think of a more deserving recipient than Dr. Rod Hochman. He has
been instrumental in not only leading Providence Health and
Services to the forefront of health care, but he has also
influenced the next generation of patient experience by advancing
care coordination and patient access nationally.”
Press Ganey also presented its Nurse of the Year Award to Linda
Minnich, staff nurse at John Muir Health. The award recognizes
the contributions of an outstanding direct-care nurse who has
demonstrated a commitment to care innovation, transformation and
collaboration to support an exceptional patient experience. Minnich
was honored for her superior leadership and active role in the
development and implementation of pain management strategies that
improve the patient experience across her organization.
Introducing a new award this year, Press Ganey presented the
Inaugural Physician of the Year award to Dr. Ira S. Nash, Senior
Vice President at North Shore-LIJ Health System and the first
Executive Director of North Shore-LIJ Medical Group. As a
clinician, Dr. Nash is board certified in Internal Medicine and
Cardiovascular Diseases. In his executive role, Dr. Nash oversees
his system’s 2,200-member medical group, the nation’s sixth-largest
group practice. Press Ganey recognized Dr. Nash for his unrelenting
commitment to establishing a patient-centric culture, and his
fierce advocacy of patient experience and transparency initiatives
to drive performance improvement across his substantial
organization.
“We are honored to celebrate the efforts and extraordinary
achievements of our 2015 award winners. The individuals and
organizations recognized today all have led visionary initiatives
to reduce patient suffering and deliver superior care experiences,”
said Ryan. “Press Ganey is continuously inspired by our clients’
achievements, and we are proud to partner with them to improve the
delivery of safe, high-quality, compassionate care.”
Press Ganey also announced the recipients of its Pinnacle of
Excellence, NDNQI®, Success Story, Guardian of
Excellence and Commitment to Excellence awards, recognizing in
total over 300 organizations for their superior performance in
engagement, clinical quality and patient experience measures.
