Finalists for the 2021 McKnight’s Tech Awards have been chosen by a panel of expert judges. The list below represents the best in each of four categories in the Senior Living track.
The group of 35 long-term care stakeholders judged hundreds of nominations, assessing the programs for their overall value in improving resident and care and services, impact, relevance, execution and creativity.
“Using technology to increase effectiveness and efficiency will be the way forward for long-term care providers. Stakeholders should be reassured that there are many great ideas and programs being put into action,” McKnight’s Editorial Director John O’Connor said. “This year’s pool of entries just blew us away, and it was really gratifying to see the quality and breadth of the submissions. We wish we could honor them all with Gold medals, and we’re excited to celebrate all entrants.”
Award winners will be announced and celebrated Oct. 20 at the first McKnight’s Tech Awards + Summit. More details will be announced soon. The awards ceremony and accompanying educational sessions are free and open to everyone, but registration is required here.
