Generating Entries
Initial Screening
Judging Process

There is an exhaustive search and selection process for the Awards composed of generating entries, initial screening and final judging.

1. Generating entries
Hospitals from all over the region are encouraged to nominate themselves and enter their favorite projects, programs, or best practices. There is no limit to the number of entries per hospital.
Health-care associations, medical service consultants and suppliers, and others in the industry are also invited to nominate hospitals in the Award categories for specific projects, programs, or best practices in hospital management.

2. Initial screening
The Awards Secretariat processes the entries, prepares a synopsis of each entry, makes copies of relevant exhibits, and submits these for consideration by the Judging sub-committees. Supporting materials submitted, such as videos and brochures, are sent to the chairpersons of the respective sub-committees.

3. Judging process
HMA partners and specially selected experts, are formed into seven (7) judging sub-committees, one for every award category. A chairperson is appointed for each team. These judging teams review the entries submitted to them, and make final recommendations to the overall conference committee.

The Board of Judges consists of representatives from the International Hospital Federation, Johns Hopkins International, CMPMedica Asia, other partners, major sponsors, other members of the Conference Committee, and OIC EVENTS. The Board may, if they prefer, review non-short listed submissions it feels merits reconsideration. The selections of the judging teams are then compiled by the Secretariat. This is then circulated to all judges en banc, with final recommendations from the Secretariat.

The successful hospitals (winners and runners up) are those who in the OPINION of the judges best fit the category criteria. Note that if there are no exceptional projects submitted in a category, the Board of Judges is not committed to give an award. However, if there are two projects in the same category that are equally meritorious, an award may be given to both projects as joint winners.
