MHA’s member hospitals participating in the Hospital Quality Improvement Contractor (HQIC) were given the opportunity to register at no cost for the 2021 Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) Prep Course provided through the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ). A total of 25 registrations were provided to our HQIC members at no cost to the employing hospital. The virtual education begins September 17 and completes on October 1. Our 25 participants will then be ready to test and receive their CPHQ certification. Programs such as this further the knowledge and skill of our healthcare professionals which, in turn, increases the quality of service provided by our Mississippi hospitals. It is our desire to provide and support as many educational advancement courses as possible, such as the CPHQ PREP, so that our healthcare professionals excel in the arena in which they serve.
The following hospitals will be represented in the CPHQ PREP Course: Anderson Regional Medical Center, Baptist Memorial Hospital Leake, Choctaw Regional Medical Center, Copiah County Medical Center, Field Health System, Greenwood Leflore Hospital, HC Watkins Memorial Hospital, King’s Daughters Medical Center, Laird Hospital, Marion General, Neshoba General, North MS Medical Center Gilmore-Amory, North MS Medical Center Eupora, North MS Medical Center Hamilton, North MS Medical Center Iuka, North MS Medical Center Pontotoc, North MS Medical Center Tupelo, OCH Regional Medical Center, Scott Regional Hospital, Simpson General Hospital, South Central Regional Medical Center, Southwest MS Regional Medical Center, UMMC Holmes County, Winston Medical Center.
