HealthCare Quality Week
Healthcare Quality Week – October 18-24, 2020
Healthcare Quality Week (HQW) is a dedicated time for healthcare and quality professionals to celebrate our progress and successes in improving patient outcomes, and to prepare ourselves for the many challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. With the global pandemic, quality has taken center stage and more healthcare professionals are being called upon to do this critical work. It’s clear that quality matters … now more than ever!
For HQW 2020, the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ} has planned an enriching week, full of complementary resources (live and on-demand) that provide meaningful value as well as other activities and a limited quantity of HQW 2020 Toolkits.
