On behalf of the Conference Committee, Sponsors, Workshop Leaders and presenters of Hospital Management Asia 2002, it is our pleasure to inform you that your entry "Add mission of Speed and Accuracy to Admission" was among the finalists in the Technical Service Improvement Project category of the Asian Hospital Management Awards 2002. This is a significant achievement and your hospital deserves our congratulations.
With 92 entries from 33 hospitals in 11 countries vying for the Awards, we had a very difficult time judging the entries. Many of the entries, like yours, were impressive. In the end, we had to make some tough decisions, and the nod for most outstanding entries in the Technical Service Improvement Project category went to National Heart Institute of Malaysia ("Single sample for serum work areas in clinical chemistries, special chemistries and immunology") and Singapore General Hospital ("The Six Sigma Strategy to Quality & Increased Productivity at the Department of Diagnostic Radiology").

Be that as it may, being a finalist is recognition that your hospital's entry was among the most outstanding in Technical Service Improvement Project. We will send you your official finalist's certificate immediately after the Gala Awards night on September 6 at Le Royal Meridien in Bangkok.




Yours sincerely,
Aldwin Sutarez
