Carestream Health's Digital Imaging Team Receives Israeli National Quality and Excellence Award

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec 20, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Carestream Health has received the National Quality and Excellence Award from the Israeli government for its outstanding achievements and continuous improvement in the area of computed radiography (CR).

This award--honoring the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin--is the most prestigious award of its kind in Israel, and recognizes Israeli organizations for excellence and a commitment to quality. The competitive application process and evaluation is sponsored by the Prime Minister's Office and managed by the Ministry of Industry & Trade, the National Institute of Standards and the Israeli Society for Quality.

The Israeli National Quality and Excellence Award is based on U.S. Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award established by the U.S. Congress and is awarded annually by the President of the Unites States. Carestream applied for the Israeli award at the beginning of 2011 and went through a long evaluation process by an independent board of examiners in seven critical areas.
