NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. (PRWEB) November 22, 2017 -- The importance of health care quality and patient safety continues to be at the forefront of providing medical care. It is essential that health care providers and administrators demonstrate their expertise and commitment to health care quality. “A hospital or health system adopting HCQM Certification/education for their medical staff allows them to say to outside interests that they have the highest possible standards for their medical team by certifying them through an independent, non-profit organization (ABQAURP) that is dedicated to ensuring health care quality and management,” according to ABQAURP Chairman of the Board, Dr. Arthur Broder.
In addition to concerns about patient safety, inappropriate services, and unnecessary readmissions, the rising costs of health care and its impact on American business all solidify the need for Health Care Quality and Management (HCQM) Certification.
HCQM-certified health care leaders effectively address the need for accountability by demonstrating an understanding of quality techniques and tools to reduce medical errors, ensure patient safety, eliminate waste and unnecessary services, and avoid potentially harmful delays in care.
How do health care professionals validate expertise in today's highly competitive health care environment?
Validate your expertise with a certification that demonstrates knowledge and commitment to safety, health care quality, and effective care. HCQM Certification is a definitive benchmark of achievement signifying a higher level of proficiency.
