Due to the incredible popularity of the KHA Scholarship for the Healthcare Accreditation Certification Program (HACP-CMS) preparatory course and national examination, the KHA Quality Team offered a new round of scholarships for this course and exam. KHA is hosting the sessions this week in Louisville. HACP-CMS is a credential developed by the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) to demonstrate competency in regulatory environments and a broad knowledge of the Medicare Conditions of Participation for acute care hospitals. The course is offered by CIHQ and was taught by the Center's CEO and Founder, Rick Curtis. KHA is grateful for the 30 hospital participants who demonstrated their commitment to Quality excellence by joining us for this month’s cohort! #qualitycare #healthcare #education

Did you know that more than 20% of pediatric sepsis survivors are readmitted to the hospital within three months of initial hospitalization? That is why it is essential to learn the signs of pediatric sepsis! Early detection is key. #PediatricSepsisWeek
