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.
- Adjusted the personalized reports you'll receive for participation to make them more actionable based off of your feedback. You can see exactly what questions need to be answered to maximize your reports by downloading the "Guidance on submitting data for your personalized reports" resource from this section of the Practice Greenhealth website.
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.
