To view this guidance, please see the resource located in the "Guidance on submitting data for your personalized reports" section of the Practice Greenhealth website. We've made slight adjusts to the metrics that will appear in the 2026 personalized reports in order to make these reports more actionable based off of your feedback. Thank you to all who shared their experiences using these reports with us.
The 2026 Environmental Excellence Awards are open and will be due on Wednesday April 15.
We're pleased to share that updates for the 2026 cycle have been focused on user experience updates and increased transparency. We have:
- Cut questions on the application by 20%
- Created a new version of the Partner for Change specifically for systems to share their system-level data and their successes.
- Made the autoscore (one of the 4 scoring frameworks we use) transparent by publishing how much each question is worth on the Facility type 1 pdf of the application.
For more specifics on how the awards application has changed, check out the "What's New in 2026" video on the Metrics and Awards landing page of the Practice Greenhealth website.
If you have questions, need assistance or technical support, or need help setting up or updating an awards account, please contact the Awards team or call our support hotline at 888-378-2259.
