At NAHQ, we recognize that embracing Quality & Safety is the key to healthcare excellence, and to transforming the very system we’re all working so hard to make better. So join us in making it a priority—at the bedside, in the boardroom, on a balance sheet, and everywhere in between.
To achieve Quality, Safety and Value, follow the NAHQ Framework
At the core of all NAHQ offerings is our Healthcare Quality Competency Framework™. This twice-validated Framework, endorsed by The Joint Commission, identifies the domains that define Quality and the industry standard competencies required to effectively advance Quality and advance healthcare.
