SUMMARY:Leveraging the NAHQ Framework to Strengthen Practice\, Growth\, and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nCarole Guinane\, RN BSBA MBA BBSS CPHQ\nFounder and CEO\, White Bee LLC  \nJaclyn Hunter\, MSHI RN CPHQ\nSenior NAHQ Navigator\, NAHQ  \nThis first webinar of a two-part Learning Lab series explores the NAHQ Healthcare Quality Competency Framework\, the industry standard that defines the knowledge\, competencies\, and skills needed to advance Quality and Safety across the continuum of care and discusses why the Framework matters now. The discussion will be grounded in current healthcare realities and the rapid evolution of quality roles. Participants will examine how shifting expectations have widened the competency gap\, and why clearly defined competencies\, beyond job titles or tasks\, are essential for strengthening quality practice and advancing the profession. Participants will gain a clear overview of the Framework\, including its domains and competencies\, how it is built for everyone across roles and career stages\, and how progressive skill development supports growth from entry-level practice through senior leadership. The Framework is positioned not as a checklist\, but as a dynamic\, workforce-based tool that reflects how quality work is performed in today’s healthcare environment.  \nRegister now for part two of the Learning Lab series! Continue the conversation on May 20 in part two\, which will build on this foundation and explore how macro-level industry trends align to the NAHQ Healthcare Quality Competency Framework.   \nLearning Objectives:   \n\nDescribe the purpose and structure of the NAHQ Healthcare Quality Competency Framework.  \n\n\nIdentify priority competencies for different roles\, career stages\, and organizational needs. \n\n\nApply the Framework as a practical tool to identify strengths and gaps at the individual and team level. \n\n  \n
