Aneurin Bevan University Health Board lead the way with nine projects in the final, followed by Cardiff and Vale University Health Board with five shortlisted entries.
A number of multi-agency projects have also been selected as finalists showing how much partnership working is taking place across Wales to improve services.
The winners will be announced in a ceremony at the Swalec Stadium, Cardiff on July 2, 2014.
Welsh Health Minister Mark Drakeford said that the standard of entries demonstrates the professionalism, dedication and skill of NHS Wales staff.
“I am always impressed with the high quality of entries to the NHS Wales Awards. They demonstrate the commitment of our staff to provide safe, efficient and compassionate care.
“This annual event is a great opportunity to celebrate excellence and showcase the talents of teams across Wales who work continuously to make improvements that benefit patients in hospital and the community.
“I would like to thank everyone who entered and wish good luck to all those who have made the finals.”
More than 140 entries were received from across Wales and the judging panel of NHS experts had the tough task of selecting the finalists in the eight award categories.
