title: Putting the "Meaning" in Meaningful Recognition of Nurses: The DAISY Award™.
abstract: Healthcare organizations, nurses, patients, and their families benefit from the opportunity to say, "Thank you." The experience of being hospitalized can be devastating. Recognizing compassionate and extraordinary nursing care in a meaningful way is a powerful tool that supports a healthy work environment, engages nursing staff, and impacts the patient care experience. The DAISY Award™ is a legacy of thanks that exemplifies the qualities of "meaningful" recognition.
