MHQP Survey Courses
Connect with monthly Webinar seminars hosted by Minnesota Healthcare Quality Professionals.
Join MHQP and HealthForce Minnesota at the monthly "quality in the trenches" brownbag education sessions. The objective of these sessions is to provide a healthcare quality "survey course" using selected materials from the National Association of Healthcare Quality (NAHQ)’s Certificated Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) preparation materials. The basic CPHQ framework is augmented by "local flavoring" and experience. The intended audience are both healthcare quality professionals who want a re-grounding in the breadth of their profession, and clinicians who want to learn more to become champions of change. We especially want to reach out to healthcare professionals in rural/outstate Minnesota who don’t get many quality education opportunities.
Following is the forecast of topics that will be addressed at noon on the days indicated.
(Those Webinars that have a PowerPoint or Acrobat Reader icon to the right of the topic have slides available for download—click on the icon to download.)
