CANTERBURY DHB QUALITY & PATIENT SAFETY COUNCILThe Canterbury DHB Quality Improvement and Innovation Awards are sponsored by the
Canterbury DHB’s Quality and Patient Safety Council.
The Canterbury DHB Quality Improvement and Innovation Awards were first introduced in 2003
and are designed to recognise, reward and publicly acknowledge the excellent
quality improvement and/or innovation initiatives generated by Canterbury DHB
staff and community based services.
The awards programme promotes a systematic approach to innovative project
management and fosters a commitment to capture and retain the knowledge within
our organisation. By encouraging staff to participate in continuous quality
improvement projects and record their quality improvements and innovations we
are also able to share the learning both internally and externally.
To date a total of 86 projects have been entered into the annual Canterbury DHB
Quality and Innovation Awards programme. Many of these projects have gone on to
achieve success in national programmes, such as the
New Zealand
Health Innovation Awards. By providing a mechanism for channelling projects from
the Canterbury DHB into national quality award programmes and by encouraging
and supporting staff to enter in external quality award programmes, we further
recognise and publicise their efforts and achievements in progressing the
quality of care provided to the people of Canterbury. Please contact
