If you haven’t nominated your IT department for Healthcare IT News' 2015 BEST Hospital IT Departments program, you better hurry up.

Nominations for the 5th annual BEST Hospital IT Departments program close at midnight on June 30.

So far, 156 hospitals have been nominated.

Go here to nominate your hospital IT department.

Based on data gathered from anonymous employee surveys, Healthcare IT News will publish a November 2015 special report, in print and online, profiling the top 25 IT departments and explore those qualities that make them exceptional.

The BEST Hospitals program includes four category sizes: small (0-25 IT employees); medium (26-75 IT employees); large (76-199 IT employees) and super (200+ IT employees). Hospital IT employees evaluate their departments on seven key measures of workplace satisfaction:

• Day-to-day work
• IT work unit
• Workplace culture
• Senior management and organizational leadership
• Professional development and advancement
• Direct supervisor or manager
• Compensation benefit and employee recognition

All IT departments that qualify as finalists for the BEST Hospital IT Departments program receive a free benchmark report. The report shows how a hospital IT department scored in the seven key categories compared with other departments in the program.
