Nephrology Times won two awards this year from the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors: (1) a Silver Award in the category of “Best Legislative/Government Article” for “Proposed Donor-Derived Infection Guideline Has Transplant Community Speaking Out” (10/11 issue), and (2) a Bronze Award in the category of “Best Case History” for “Come Together” (2/11 issue), about a new independent practice association. Both articles were written by Editor Michelle Hogan and are available in the archive.
The publication also received a 2012 APEX Award for Publication Excellence in the category of newspaper writing. The award was for the entire January 2011 issue, which covered topics of critical importance to the nephrology community: navigating the End-Stage Renal Disease Quality Incentive Program, identifying selection criteria for living kidney donation, determining the potential effects of health care reform on nephrology practice, and preventing organ donor-derived infections.
