National Association for Healthcare Quality

Founded in 1976, the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) is the only organization dedicated to healthcare quality professionals, defining the standard of excellence for the profession, and equipping professionals and organizations across the continuum of healthcare to meet these standards.

NAHQ offers the only accredited certification in healthcare quality (the CPHQ), extensive educational programming, networking opportunities, and career resources to help our members meet the challenges they face and demonstrate their value.

Healthcare quality professionals are an indispensable part of the healthcare team, and NAHQ is committed to you and your success at all levels, from new quality specialist to experienced executive.

Over the past few years, NAHQ has experienced tremendous growth. NAHQ has nearly doubled revenue in 5 years’ time, to $7.5M and has increased membership and certification more than 50%. This progress led to NAHQ’s transformation from a shared management model to a stand-alone organization on December 1, 2017. The transition allows for increased agility in meeting member needs; greater autonomy in decision making, and better efficiencies resulting in increased revenue for investing in new programming and services for healthcare quality professionals. This is an exciting time for NAHQ as we seek to grow market share and expand product and program utilization across the full continuum of healthcare settings. NAHQ intends to move beyond relationships with individuals and expand to provide products and services to institutions in an effort to maintain the upward trend that it is currently experiencing.
