In 1983, NAHQ introduced the only accredited certification in healthcare quality, the Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality – the CPHQ.   

  • More than 15,000 individuals hold the CPHQ certification globally

 

The certification is increasingly in demand by employers, as evidenced by more than half of jobs in NAHQ’s Career Center requiring or preferring candidates hold this credential.   

If your organization is committed to improving healthcare quality, hiring, training and retaining CPHQs will accelerate your progress.   

 

NAHQ research confirms CPHQs  

  • Work at higher levels of competency compared with non-CPHQs in all eight domains of NAHQ’s Healthcare Quality Competency Framework.  

  • Aspire to be thought leaders within the healthcare quality arena.  

  • Are more likely to hold higher job titles (link to profiles) than those who do not have CPHQ.
