This is the third time ASAE has awarded NAHQ with this accolade and signifies NAHQ’s commitment and fortitude to advance the idea that the quality and safety workforce should be better supported, so they can be better leveraged. NAHQ received the first of three Power of Associations awards in 2017 when it defined and published the first-ever competencies for healthcare quality, HQ Essentials. In 2020, NAHQ received a second award for expanding the framework which consists of eight domains, 29 competencies and 486 skill statements stratified across foundational, proficient, and advanced levels.
