Abstract

Each year since 2011, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has partnered with Cerner to bestow the ANCC Pathway Award® on a Pathway to Excellence®-designated organization to elevate the practice environment using innovative technologies. Cerner has generously doubled the award prize from $25,000 to $50,000 in 2020. MinuteClinic, the retail medical clinic of CVS Health, is the first national retail clinic to be recognized with this award. They stood out from other submissions with their proposal "Virtual Collaboration (VC) for Nurses." Being a national organization means that the benefits of their proposed program can impact millions of people across the country.
