Kansas State Board of Nursing garners Horizon
Interactive Awards honors
The Kansas State Board of Nursing's "Kansas Nursing" site was
recently recognized as a Horizon Interactive Award “Bronze” winner
in the category of government agency websites. The Horizon
Interactive Awards are an international competition recognizing
excellence in interactive media production.
The “Kansas Nursing” site was launched on Sep. 10, 2018, as a
collaboration between the Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN), the
Information Network of Kansas (INK), and the Kansas Information
Consortium, LLC (KIC). The site was created as part of a multimedia
campaign to drive awareness of “Kansas Nursing,” KSBN’s
first-in-class Alexa skill for Kansas Nursing License
Verification.
KSBN are thrilled to be recognized as a
Horizon Interactive Award winner amongst government website. The
integrated media campaign for the “Kansas Nursing” skill has
provided KSBN with an invaluable springboard to help us launch our
license verification skill. KSBN’s public awareness campaign to
help educate both constituents and other nursing boards on the
solution benefits greatly from the interactive site and media
created by KIC.
