and Management Board Certification Exam


With the passage of health care reform legislation we are entering into an era of provider accountability. Nurse Practitioners will be an integral part of the reform process. Certification in Health Care Quality and Management (HCQM) will position you at the leading edge of reform.

Professionals who are committed to patient safety, health care quality, and effective care will achieve the solution to many of the problems in the health care system. Purchasers, payors, providers, and patients recognize the value of professionals certified in health care quality and management. This certification demonstrates expertise in the ability to critically evaluate current medical literature, identify evidence-based best practices, and make recommendations that balance appropriateness of services with cost and quality.
