CPHQ Test

Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) certification is a valuable commodity in the field of healthcare quality management. People who have earned CPHQ certification demonstrate professional excellence through their initiative, as well as their ability to pass the CPHQ certification exam.

The CPHQ certification exam was developed by the Healthcare Quality Certification Board (HQCB), the certifying branch of the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ). The main goals of the HQCB are to establish policies, procedures, and standards for healthcare quality management certification and recertification.

To earn CPHQ certification, candidates should be experienced healthcare quality professionals who want to take their career to the next level. While the Healthcare Quality Certification Board (HQCB) of the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) previously required applicants to prove eligibility for the exam, in 2003 the HQCB decided to eliminate this requirement and now allows applicants to judge their own readiness.

The CPHQ certification exam is a timed, computerized test consisting of 140 multiple-choice questions. You may apply for the exam at any time.

Healthcare quality professionals who want to take the CPHQ certification exam should review a CPHQ study guide, especially if they have not worked in the healthcare quality field in the past two years. A CPHQ study guide can dramatically improve your chances of passing the exam.

Professionals who do pass the exam become officially certified and are entitled to use the designation “CPHQ” after their names, effective on the date they pass the exam.

Because CPHQ certification is an internationally recognized program, professionals who pass the exam are viewed as demonstrating competent knowledge, skill, and understanding of program development and management, along with quality improvement concepts, coordination of survey processes, communication and education techniques, and departmental management in healthcare quality.
