This is underscored by the high number of strong nominations all of which showcase impressive enhancements to clinical workflows that enable a greater focus on the patient and their problem. I’d like to extend my congratulations to all.”

For each of the six awards, there was an overall Winner as well as Special Commendations in the category reflecting the strength and depth of nominations. New for 2023 was the Impact Award for the customer who has achieved far reaching results due to an excellent deployment of Imprivata technology.
