Like any other business, the success of healthcare organizations depends on their staff. They often work behind the scenes and make the operation smoother. To ensure that their contributions are recognized, as the owner of the healthcare facility, you can arrange awards for these staff members to boost their morale and enhance their sense of gratitude and belongingness to your organization.

Not sure what awards you should give them? Below, we have listed some unique service award ideas for medical staff. Take a look.

Exemplary Support Staff Award
Your support staff includes administrative assistants, medical receptionists, and office managers who help battle day-to-day operational challenges. They manage schedules, set appointments, and manage the communication between key personnel within the healthcare facility and the patients. You can give them an exemplary support staff award based on their dedication, skills, and problem-solving abilities.

Outstanding Medical Technologist Award
Laboratory technicians and medical technologists perform all diagnostic tests while maintaining accuracy. They also prepare the results timely to ensure the patient receives the treatment on time. Their expertise supports doctors in correctly identifying the disease and treating the patient. Award them based on attention to detail, precision in handling lab equipment, and test result accuracy.

Exceptional Healthcare Maintenance Award
The healthcare maintenance staff keeps your facility clean and organized. They keep the indoors and medical equipment sterile so that the facility remains infection-free. You can award their attention to detail and level of cleanliness. Since they also deal with medical equipment, you can also measure the accuracy of their performance after cleaning as a requirement for this award.

Dedicated Healthcare IT Specialist Award
IT Specialists in a medical facility are probably some of the most underrated professionals. But the facility doesn’t run smoothly without their contributions. They keep patient data safe and secure, make it accessible to doctors and other key personnel, and keep the internal server and network up and running. You can give them an award based on technical expertise in maintaining the central database, effectiveness in safeguarding the system against various cyber threats, and capability of providing immediate support during a crisis.

Compassionate Care Coordinator Award
The care coordinators in your healthcare facility understand individual care needs, create personalized care plans, and maintain the overall communication between the patients and the healthcare professionals. They also follow up on patient appointments, manage their medications, and provide them with emotional support. You can award them based on their diligence and accuracy in maintaining patient communication.

Exceptional Medical Records Keeper Award
Medical record keepers rarely get applauded for their contribution. They collect and record patient medical history. They also organize them in an accessible way so that healthcare professionals can access them whenever needed. They also follow the legal standards of the company and state requirements to protect sensitive patient data. You can award the best medical records keepers based on their attention to detail, accuracy in managing the data, and compliance with ethical standards.

Innovative Healthcare Logistics Award
People who manage the logistics of a healthcare facility rarely get the spotlight. You can arrange an award for them to make them feel appreciated. They list essential resources, such as medicines and surgical instruments, and place requisitions when the facility runs out of them. You can award them based on their inventory management skills, capabilities of streamlining the process, and reducing waste.

Supportive Patient Services Award
Patient services coordinators perform administrative duties and coordinate customer services. They handle day-to-day inquiries and manage smooth billing operations. They take off load from both patients and healthcare professionals by ensuring proper communication between them. You can award them based on their accuracy in handling queries and proficiency in handling the billing process.

Exceptional Pharmacy Technician Award
Pharmacy technicians help pharmacists prepare and dispense medicine and are vital for day-to-day operations. They accurately measure and distribute medicine to patients and help them recover quickly. You can award them based on their adherence to the protocols and attention to detail.

Resilient Healthcare Security Award
Healthcare security personnel are usually not involved in the healthcare services directly. But they also have a significant contribution to running the facility. They guard the facility and ensure the safety and security of patients and healthcare providers. They also respond to any emergencies within the facility and find immediate solutions. Your healthcare facility will have compromised security without them, so thanking them is necessary. You can give them an award based on their vigor and resilience, capability of responding to emergencies, and number of emergencies solved through courage and critical thinking.

Managing healthcare facility staff is more than providing a good compensation package and helping them manage burnout. The success of your organization depends on how motivated your staff is and how loyal they are to your company. You can boost their morale and encourage them to work harder for your organization by giving them awards once a year.
