Our members are made up of various Quality Healthcare Professionals: hospital quality, data analytics, managed care, medical records/health information, long-term care, risk managers/patient safety, and case management.

Anyone with an interest in Healthcare Quality is welcome to become a member.Membership is open to all who are involved with promoting the science and practice of healthcare quality management.

Included in this affiliation is our support for the Certified Professional in HealthCare Quality or CPHQ. The programs MAHQ offers provide continuing education credits for CPHQ re-certification for those who attend.

Many of our educational sessions are of interest to other healthcare professionals who may use the session brochure for their own re-certification process.

Our educational session brochures are shared with neighboring state associations. Typically our educational session averages about 40 to 50 attendees.
