Strengthening the workforce through meaningful recognition.
Meaningfully recognizing the extraordinary contributions of nurses is a key element in creating and sustaining healthy work environments. Publically honoring the work of nursing reinforces those actions and behaviors that patients, families, and colleagues truly value. A multi-site research study provided a 360-degree perspective of the impact this type of acknowledgment had on strengthening the nursing workforce at 20 health care organizations who use The DAISY Award to recognize extraordinary nurses. Data analysis of 2,195 DAISY Award nominations from patients, families, and colleagues at 20 hospitals identified 22 behavioral themes associated with extraordinary nursing.
