Oakland DAISY Recognition Program 

The DAISY program was revamped in 2024 with a new DAISY inter-professional committee and DAISY Coordinator, Anjal Pong, DNP. The new committee established a charter and enlisted members that represented areas of adult and MCH nursing, Engineering, EVS, Nutrition and Care Experience. Each month, members participate in a voting process that utilizes criteria Jean Watson’s 10 Caritas Processes® to reduce bias and improve equitable scoring. Each month, a DAISY recognition celebration takes place on the unit of the awardee with leaders, staff and even the nominators.
