Modern Healthcare announced this year's
100 Most Powerful People in Healthcare recognition program—our eighth annual—in the April 6 issue of the magazine. From April 6 through May 8, readers nominated candidates via ModernHealthcare.com.
This year, readers submitted more than 25,700 nominations, up 76% from 14,600 last year.
Modern Healthcare then placed the 301 people who received the most nominations on a final ballot, also posted on the Web site.
From May 25 through June 26, readers visited the site to vote for the 10 candidates they believe should make the final list of the 100 Most Powerful. Readers submitted nearly 52,000 ballots with a total of just under half a million votes cast—a 10% increase compared with last year. The 100 people who received the most votes made the final list with the ranking determined by number of votes received. The magazine reserved the right to resolve voting irregularities.
