The Minogue Award for Patient Safety Innovation

All complete submissions will be anonymized and reviewed based on the criteria below.

The top honor, the Minogue Award for Patient Safety Innovation, is presented to the first-place submission that best exemplifies bold, measurable, and system-level impact on patient safety. A Distinguished Achievement Award is given to the second-place project, and additional outstanding submissions may be recognized as part of the Circle of Honor for Patient Safety Excellence. These multiple levels of recognition reflect our commitment to celebrating a range of meaningful innovations across the region.

A Selection Committee will identify recipients for the awards based on an anonymized review. The winners of the Minogue Award for Patient Safety Innovation and the Distinguished Achievement in Patient Safety Innovation Award may be asked to present their solutions at the Mid-Atlantic Patient Safety Conference 2025 and/or in the Patient Safety Webinar Series at a mutually agreeable date and time during the months following the annual Patient Safety Conference. All award winners will be honored at a special reception the evening before the annual conference (Monday, April 20, 2026).

If you have any questions or need further information, please email: MPSCAwards@marylandpatientsafety.org.

We look forward to learning - and sharing - how your work is advancing the future of safe, equitable, and systems-based care.
