The DAISY Coordinators:
Our strongest programs have told us how helpful it is to have 2 coordinators, one who has computer time and one who can engage nurses on the floor. The primary role of the DAISY Coordinators is to oversee and organize the DAISY Award Program and coordinate the activities of the DAISY Award Committee. The two of you lead the program but should not be the only ones working on DAISY! You will help:
- Champion The DAISY Award at your healthcare organization
- Delegate roles to other committee members
- Organize the DAISY Committee meetings
- Organize DAISY Award Celebrations
- Ensure someone is in charge of registering your Honoree with us
- Communicate any changes with us: new shipping or invoicing contacts or change in Chief Nursing Officer.
- Please watch for an email from your Regional Program Director to schedule a quick 10-minute call to discuss logistics and committee formation.
- PLEASE NOTE: If you have more than one hospital/ facility/ location participating, please make sure there is an individual DAISY Coordinator at each location and pass this information on to us.
The DAISY Committee:
Form your DAISY committee. Some considerations:
- Existing Committee or Council, such as Professional Practice
- Patient Experience Officer
- Clerical staff member/Administrator
- Volunteer Coordinator
- Retired Nurse
- Representative from Patient/Family Advisory Council
- Chaplain/Someone from Ministry Department
- Marketing Representative
