The DAISY Award ™ for Extraordinary Nurses

The DAISY Award

We are excited to announce Columbus Regional Healthcare System is implementing the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses! This evidence-based program recognizes nurses in a meaningful way. Nomination boxes will be going up soon near the elevators, those areas will also display a QR code linking users to our electronic nomination site. Additionally, there will be electronic nomination links on our website and social media. This is an exciting time for nurses at CRHS! If you have any questions, please reach out to a DAISY committee member. Members are Megan Sargent, Jeremy Simmons, Stephanie Miller, Sarah Bullard, Shauna Treadaway, and Heather Robinson.  

WHAT: An ongoing recognition program that honors and celebrates the skillful and compassionate care nurses provide every day. Active in over 5,800 healthcare facilities and schools of nursing, internationally.

WHY: Established by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died from complications of ITP in 1999. During his hospitalization, they deeply appreciated not only the immense clinical skill but also the enormous compassion shown to Pat and his family by his nurses. When Pat died, they felt compelled to say, “thank you!” to nurses in a very personal way.

HOW: Nurses are nominated by patients, families, and colleagues. All nominations are then blinded and scored by a committee based on predetermined criteria. The Honoree is celebrated publicly with a ceremony. Nominees receive a copy of their nomination, pin, and note. 

IMPACT:  Research supports the powerful impact of meaningful recognition and The DAISY Award on nurses and organizational culture.
