Newswise — In addition to the latest clinical research and evidence-based practices related to the care of critically and acutely ill patients, journals published by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) have become a recognized source for thought-provoking perspectives into current issues.
Each issue of Critical Care Nurse (CCN) and the American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC) includes editorials and columns that their 100,000-plus readers rely on for insights and answers to some of healthcare’s toughest challenges.
As a testament to their quality, the journals recently received awards from three leading industry groups.
AJCC co-editors Cindy Munro, RN, ANP-BC, PhD, FAAN, FAANP, FAAAS, and Richard Savel, MD, FCCM, received awards for three of their 2015 editorials. Munro is the associate dean for research and innovation at the University of South Florida College of Nursing, Tampa. Savel is director of adult critical care services at Maimonides Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York, and professor of clinical medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
The Western Publishing Association — which bestows annual awards on individuals and companies whose work is deemed “Best in the West” in a wide variety of publishing categories — presented its Maggie Award for “Best Signed Editorial or Essay/Trade” to AJCC for its May 2015 editorial, “Measles 2015: Why Public Health Matters to Critical Care.”
The American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors — which annually recognizes excellence and achievement in the field of healthcare publishing — presented AJCC with a silver award for the July 2015 editorial, “Moral Distress, Moral Courage.”
The January 2015 AJCC editorial commenting on the Ebola outbreak, “Viral Outbreaks in an Age of Global Citizenship,” received an award of excellence for editorial or advocacy writing in the 28th annual Apex Awards for Publication Excellence, an annual competition for publishers, editors, writers and designers who create print, Web, electronic materials and social media.
In addition to the AJCC awards, the “Ask the Experts” column published in each issue of CCN, AACN’s clinical practice journal, received an Apex award of excellence for best writing in departments and columns.
