AAMI Receives Gold Award from ASAE
The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Foundation received a national gold award from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) in recognition for their patient safety initiatives. The organization was praised specifically for their contributions through the National Coalition for Alarm Management Safety and National Coalition to Promote Continuous Monitoring Patients on Opioids. 30 gold and 55 silver winners for the ASAE’s Power of A Awards were chosen out of 147 entries.
The Power of A Awards recognizes associations that set the industry standards for quality, ethics and safety, highlighting the association community’s valuable contributions to society on a local, national, and global scale.
“They honor the outstanding accomplishments of associations and industry professionals in the areas of enriching lives, creating a competitive workforce, preparing society for the future, driving innovation, and making a better world,” according to ASAE.
The AAMI Foundation is a nonprofit organization that primarily focuses on solving urgent technology-related patient safety issues. The organization collaborates with clinicians, healthcare technology professionals, regulators, accreditors, patient advocates, industry and other stakeholder groups to solve issues that arise from the current medical environment.
“We are honored that ASAE chose to recognize the AAMI Foundation’s patient safety initiatives. This award reflects the efforts of the hundreds of volunteers who dedicate their time, expertise, and passion to improving the status quo. Through their collaboration, they are leading the charge to bring about improvements in areas that affect millions of patients every day—such as infusion therapy safety, alarm fatigue, and continuous monitoring of patients on opioids,” said Marilyn Neder Flack, senior vice president of patient safety initiatives and executive director of the AAMI Foundation. | |
