The University Aims to Train the Next Generation of the Healthcare Workforce with Proven Quality & Safety Competencies

CHICAGO and MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ)® and Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) announce a new collaboration that will align a graduate level course in Quality Improvement with NAHQ’s industry-standard Healthcare Quality Competency Framework.

NAHQ’s Healthcare Quality Competency Framework offers twice-validated competencies that reduce variability of healthcare delivery by offering a common vocabulary and toolkit. It also articulates everything that must be present in a high-functioning quality program and offers career pathways for individuals to explore.

As the healthcare industry continues to witness a growing demand for heightened patient outcomes and reduced operational costs, the need for standardized healthcare quality and safety competencies has become increasingly apparent. This situation, coupled with the need to address a looming workforce shortage “cliff” in healthcare, make this educational collaboration even more valuable for students.

NAHQ and AUM recognize the crucial role of a well-equipped and competent workforce, which begins with a robust educational foundation. By aligning AUM’s Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) curriculum with NAHQ’s framework, which is the industry standard, the partnership seeks to bridge the variability gap in healthcare delivery, ultimately enhancing patient care and organizational efficiency.

“AUM’s dedication to academic excellence and its commitment to preparing graduates to be valuable contributors to the healthcare industry align with NAHQ’s vision,” said NAHQ Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Stephanie Mercado, CAE, CPHQ. “Partnering with AUM to integrate NAHQ’s Healthcare Quality Competency Framework into their coursework is a significant step toward preparing future healthcare professionals to address the challenges of our evolving healthcare landscape. This curriculum sets a benchmark for academic institutions, and we commend AUM for raising the bar for healthcare quality education and creating a strong foundation to advance a more proficient and empathetic healthcare workforce.”

The partnership with AUM is the latest example in NAHQ’s commitment to empowering the next generation of healthcare professionals to address the complexities of modern healthcare challenges. By working closely with the dedicated faculty at AUM, NAHQ’s curriculum will enable students to explore key concepts, tools, and strategies to drive continuous improvement and minimize risks in the industry. Students will delve into the core principles of quality improvement and patient safety, gain insights into various quality improvement models and methodologies and learn how to apply these frameworks to healthcare settings, with emphasis on data collection and analysis, and the use of metrics.

Dr. Michael McEachern, LFACHE, CPHQ, Director of the AUM MHA program, emphasizes the importance of addressing cost, quality, and access in today’s healthcare landscape. “Understanding and mastering these elements are essential for any healthcare leader’s success. Our Quality Improvement and Patient Safety course provides our graduates with critical skills and insights that are not commonly found in all MHA programs,” says Dr. McEachern.
