The Nightingale Awards 2024 recognize 34 products
October 9, 2024 — Healthcare Design magazine in partnership with The Healthcare Design Conference + Expo announced the winners of The Nightingale Awards 2024 earlier this week, including winning entries from such leading brands as Accurate Lock & Hardware, C. F. Stinson, Kwalu and OM Seating. Recornect won Best of Competition for its CoWin Digital Media Wall.
The Nightingale Awards — the industry’s leading program to recognize products related to the healthcare built environment — are named for Florence Nightingale, a tireless advocate for the improvement of care and conditions in military and civilian hospitals in the 1800s. The judging criteria for the awards are the product’s contribution or solution for clinical or operational outcomes; aesthetics and innovation; built environment solution, durability, functionality, and quality; industry certifications and standards; environmental sustainability; and list price. To evaluate the entries, jurors visited exhibitors’ booths before the Healthcare Design Expo opened to examine the products, hear the story of their design and development, and ask questions.
