There are six award categories. Division winners will be announced in each PE division for each individual and team categories. There will also be a set of overall winners per award category. PE system employees are included as their own division and are encouraged to also participate.

The Innovation, Compassion and Inspiration award categories will be awarded to one physician/APP, one staff member, and one team/department (if nominated) per division.

The Patient Experience and Quality award categories use quantitative data to determine division winners and overall winners based on clinic size. Nominations will not be collected for these two award categories.

Awards will be based on articles published in peer-reviewed journals from January to December 2022. Manuscripts in “pre-print” status will be accepted.
Criteria for selection and award will be based on the potential for the publication to have a direct, relevant, and high-impact effect on clinical care delivery, with a focus on improving care for our patients and communities. All submitted publications will be reviewed by a committee composed of national, divisional, and academic partner leaders using a standard review format.

Note: Only articles published in peer-reviewed journals from January to December 2022 will be accepted. Ideas that are being planned but have not yet been implemented will not be reviewed. Letters to the editor, book chapters, blogs, editorials, opinion or perspective pieces will not be reviewed.

There will be four award categories:

Clinical Research: Research conducted with human subjects (or on the material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator (or colleague) directly interacts with human subjects. This area of research includes mechanisms of human disease; therapeutic interventions; clinical trials; development of new technologies; analysis of existing datasets; epidemiologic and behavioral studies; outcomes research and health services research.

Health Disparities Research or Health Equity Research: Research conducted to address the disparity in clinical care delivery or closing a care gap due to inherent or implicit disparity in care. Abstracts in this category will primarily be descriptive, but they may also include preliminary data.

Medical Humanities: Initiatives/Research that focuses on the history of medicine, cultures of medicine, dilemmas/challenges in the practice of medicine, disability studies, communities in crisis, bioethics, public health, doctor-patient relationships and communication, end-of-life concerns, medicine and the media, medicine and society; literature and medicine, medical anthropology, empathy and the experience of illness, and the arts and medicine.

Practice Innovation or High-Value Care or Quality Improvement: Initiatives that focus on reducing waste in the system (unnecessary testing and treatment or inappropriate setting for care), minimizing harms (radiation exposure, medication side effects), and improving patient care through communication (incorporating patient values and concerns into care plans), or improving caregiver well-being by reducing unnecessary steps in the process of providing and/or documenting care. Abstracts in this category will primarily be descriptive, but they may also include preliminary data.
