Accolade marks the third time NAHQ has been recognized by ASAE

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, August 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Association for Healthcare Quality^® (NAHQ) has been recognized by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) with a 2022 Power of Associations Silver Award for its Workforce Accelerator^® solution.

“As healthcare leaders prepare to reset and recharge their quality and safety agendas in a post-pandemic environment, they need a solid framework to stand on and a partner with a methodology to activate their workforce,” said Stephanie Mercado, CAE, CPHQ, chief executive officer at NAHQ. “Workforce Accelerator helps healthcare leaders get their arms around the work of quality and safety and to ensure that their workforce is both competent and coordinated. At its core, Workforce Accelerator supports individual professional development, advances organizational goals for quality and safety, and ensures the organization is activating all the domains in NAHQ’s standard competency framework.”

This is the third time ASAE has awarded NAHQ with this accolade and signifies NAHQ’s commitment and fortitude to advance the idea that the quality and safety workforce should be better supported, so they can be better leveraged. NAHQ received the first of three Power of Associations awards in 2017 when it defined and published the first-ever competencies for healthcare quality, HQ Essentials. In 2020, NAHQ received a second award for expanding the framework which consists of eight domains, 29 competencies and 486 skill statements stratified across foundational, proficient, and advanced levels. Today’s third award is for Workforce Accelerator, which builds on the competency framework and makes deployment actionable through a NAHQ-delivered implementation support system.

“Healthcare quality and safety can’t wait and for that reason, neither can an action plan for how to improve the workforce that leads quality,” Mercado added. “The work we are doing will fundamentally improve future healthcare outcomes.”
