Early Registration Extended for 2020 Health Care Quality and Management Certification (HCQM®) Exam

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla., March 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The importance of health care quality and patient safety is paramount in providing medical care in today's environment. It is essential that health care providers and administrators demonstrate their expertise and commitment to health care quality and safety. According to ABQAURP Chairman of the Board, Dr. Arthur Broder, "Employers adopting HCQM Certification and 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."

In addition to concerns about patient safety, inappropriate services, and unnecessary readmissions, the rising costs of health care and its impact on families and business all solidify the need for Health Care Quality and Management (HCQM) Certification.

Realizing what a hectic time it is for health care professionals around the world, ABQAURP strives to make certification accessible, therefore the early registration deadline and the extra savings promotion have been extended through April 22, 2020, to allow medical professionals time to concentrate on what's important now - taking care of family, patients, and staff. ABQAURP humbly thanks you for your tireless efforts during this unprecedented time.

Validate your expertise with a certification that demonstrates knowledge and commitment to safety, health care quality, and effective care.
