The Visually Appealing and Intuitively Structured Website Makes it Easier for The US HHS Office of Inspector General to Help Engaged Citizens Report Fraud.
Washington D.C (PRWEB) August 31, 2011
To win an IMA Award, entries must successfully pass through a comprehensive rating system. IMA judges utilize a points-based scoring system which allows each entry to receive a maximum of 500 points. By adhering to the specific guidelines and criteria of this system, judges are able to maintain the highest degree of fairness, accuracy and integrity; competently and effectively evaluate entries; and, deliver clear results. The OIG HHS website achieved an overall score of 469 out of 500 under the category 'Government'. The website received a 93/100 in Design, a 97/100 in content, a 97/100 in feature functionality, a 92/100 in Usability, and a 90/100 in Standards Compliance and Cross-Browser Compatibility.
“The Outstanding Achievement award is an extremely challenging award to win. The US HHS Office of Inspector General website has excelled in all areas of our judging criteria and represents a very high standard of planning, execution and overall professionalism,” writes Aaron Warner of Interactive Media Awards Nominations Support Services.
The award recognizes that the website’s intuitive navigation, streamlined content and successful social media integration will ensure that the OIG more aptly develops and distributes resources and information to assist the health care industry in their efforts to comply with the Nation's fraud and abuse laws. It also notes how the improvements will make it easier for OIG to educate the public about fraudulent schemes so they can protect themselves and report suspicious activities.
