Other nzbef administered awards
Along with the NZ Business Excellence National Awards, the Foundation also
administers the following two awards -
The
NZ Health Innovation Awards
The NZ Health Innovation Awards initiated in 2003, are a
collaborative effort between the Ministry of Health and the Accident
Compensation Corporation and are administered by the NZ Business Excellence
Foundation utilising a 4-stage process similar to that of the NZ Business
Excellence Awards.
The Award processes and templates were developed by the NZ Business Excellence
Foundation in consultation with the MOH and ACC. Although very similar to
the NZ Business Excellence Awards, the Health Innovation Awards utilise an
Expression of Interest stage as a preliminary evaluation step and finalists are
selected after the expressions of interest are run through a weighted selection
matrix that aligns with the key requirements of the awards criteria.
Applicants for an award are subjected to a rigorous evaluation process.
Each applicant submits a written application document which responds to, and
details how they have implemented, the innovation that they are entering.
A team of evaluators from the health sector and trained by the Foundation
individually and collectively evaluate the submission, including visiting the
sites of the applicant to verify the application. Finally, a panel of
judges reviews the evaluation and decides the winners of the various award
categories.
In the Health Innovation Awards, the applicants compete against each other,
within the award categories. Award applicants also receive a comprehensive
feedback report detailing areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
