The 2023 McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards are now open for nominations and registrations. 

Organizers opened the portal Wednesday for senior living and care’s most celebrated tech-oriented showcase and educational event. Entrants and attendees are encouraged to act quickly, as the deadline for submissions is June 23.

Finalists in each category will be announced Aug. 23, with a virtual summit and awards ceremony to follow Sept. 20. There also will be an in-person celebration the first week of November in Chicago.

McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Award entries are being accepted in four categories in each track: home care, skilled nursing and senior living. Winners will be recognized for technology uses that improve efficiency, demonstrate innovative thinking or harness new tools to benefit residents and staff.

This annual showcase is a free opportunity for providers to demonstrate leadership and outside-the-box thinking when it comes to today’s tech. Submissions don’t have to involve complicated or costly devices or programs. The national, independent panel of judges are interested in clever approaches that lead to smarter workflows and better quality of life. 

Also back again is the Technology Partner of the Year track, which will encompass an all-division umbrella competition for skilled nursing, senior living and home care.

Entries will be accepted through June 23 in Quality, Innovator of the Year, KISS (Keep It Super Simple), Building Bridges and Tech Partner of the Year categories. More details are available at www.mcknightstechawards.com.

Also see the entry site for more details on categories and rules. Vendors are eligible to enter only the Tech Partner of the Year category.

In September, the Summit will feature educational panels. A full agenda will be announced at a later date.

Winners will be recognized across McKnight’s Home Care, McKnight’s Long-Term Care News and McKnight’s Senior Living and all their social and traditional media platforms. Learn more about last year’s Home Care track winners and the technology revolutionizing how they care for residents and patients.
