The Joint Commission re-evaluates Codman Award program

Over the past year, The Joint Commission has been re-evaluating the Ernest Amory Codman Award program in light of other Joint Commission initiatives and priorities. As part of this evaluation, a survey was conducted to determine demand and interest for a health care award program, including the Codman Award, among accredited organizations. Based on initial feedback, The Joint Commission has determined to further evaluate the program. Therefore, there will not be a Codman Award program in 2010.
