Round one is over and we have our Finalists for the People’s Choice Dosie Award. Congratulations to the Finalists! It’s now time for everyone to pick the best of the best. We just completed Round one of the popular vote to determine these Finalists. We’re down from almost 500 hopefuls to around 40 Finalists. Now we pick the People’s Choice winners. If you want some background on the Dosie Awards, you can read about them here.
Congratulations to the Finalists for the People’s Choice Award. Interesting to see a few sites/programs that were Dosie Winners last year. But it’s not over yet. You now must vote to determine the People’s Choice Winner and Runner Up in each category. The ballot is below.
[One technical note: unfortunately, we had to eliminate the category for Healthcare Professional Community due to the fact that it was not properly included in the initial ballot, so there were not enough valid votes to make a fair selection. We apologize for the error and will certainly ensure this doesn't happen with next year's awards.]
