What award is given by the Joint Commission for advancing quality and safety in patient care?

The Codman Award is presented by the Joint Commission to honor organizations that demonstrate a significant commitment to improving the quality and safety of patient care. Named after Dr. Ernest Amory Codman, a pivotal figure in the history of health care quality, this award emphasizes the importance of using data effectively to drive quality improvement initiatives. Organizations receiving this award showcase exemplary methods in measuring patient outcomes, promoting transparency, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, all of which align with the Joint Commission's goals of enhancing healthcare quality and safety.

The other awards listed do focus on various aspects of healthcare and quality improvement, but they do not carry the specific recognition from the Joint Commission for advancing patient care in the way that the Codman Award does.
