AAMI Technical Committee Award
Background
Awarded to up to two AAMI technical committees (includes AAMI technical committees and working groups, and AAMI technical advisory groups and technical advisory sub-groups) annually to recognize outstanding Committee efforts. Nominations may be submitted by any member of the AAMI Board of Directors, Committee on Standards Strategy, Standards Board, or by any member of AAMI or any member of an AAMI committee. Selection is by the AAMI Standards Board based on the nomination report. Committee members [based on membership status at the time the award is announced] receive a plaque and the Committee is further rewarded with a special luncheon, dinner or similar event at their next meeting. Up to five former committee members may also be nominated to receive a plaque for past outstanding contributions to the work of the committee. In addition, Committee cochairs are invited to the AAMI Annual Meeting to accept the award on behalf of the committee in a public presentation.
Criteria for the award include (but are not necessarily limited to):
- Importance of the contributions, benefits and effects that resulted/will result from a standard, or a group of standards (e.g., contribution to patient safety, international trade, etc).
- Committee operations (balance; time taken to complete document; degree of consensus achieved)
- Other factors (e.g., round robin testing of a new test method being developed for a standard)
Nomination Deadline: Nomination deadline: 15 February (Nominations received after that date will be considered for the following year’s awards. For example, a nomination received on 15 February 2014 will be considered for the 2014 awards; a nomination received on 16 February 2014 will be considered for the 2015 awards.)
