AIS 2026 Best in Class Outcomes

Apply now for your chance to be recognized for Best-in-Class during the AIS Conference on September 14, 2026. The Best-In-Class Outcomes award recognizes a high-quality, high-impact, outcomes-based program that effectively:
  • Communicates the beneficial impact on clinical practice and adherence to evidence based, guideline-concordant care
  • Demonstrates changes in healthcare practitioner behavior and/or patient or community health
  • Generates real world evidence resulting from education that can be replicated and sustained
  • Describes successful use by industry or other financial supporter(s) of outcomes reporting with internal stakeholders and other decision makers
Interim data analyses reflecting the impact of the initiative will be considered, as final outcomes are not required to be selected to present. Any quality/clinical improvement or real-world evidence must include analysis of available data. We encourage industry supporters to consider submitting applications that convey best approaches to utilizing high impact outcomes with internal stakeholders. The top five applicants will be invited to present their program onsite on September 14, after which the winner of Best-In-Class Outcomes will be announced.
