3. Surveyors and reviewers with The Joint Commission, including its international arm, will obtain NAHQ’s Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality certification. The organizations will also offer 25 scholarships annually for employees at underfunded organizations to earn this certification.
4. The organizations will co-create training, educational resources and micro-credentials aligned with NAHQ’s competency framework.
5. While The Joint Commission and NAHQ will remain independent, the CEO of each will join the other’s board of directors, effective Jan. 1.
