Healthcare Quality Week is October 16-22

Later this month is Healthcare Quality Week, sponsored by the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ).  Use the week to recognize healthcare quality management professionals, healthcare quality achievements in your organization, and raise awareness about the importance of quality in everyday practice.

We encourage you to take advantage of the free webinars, posters, tips, and templates provided by NAHQ.
