About the Program:

AHPI Institute of Healthcare Quality (AIHQ) an academic wing of AHPI has designed Certified Healthcare Quality Practitioner program (CHQP) intended for Healthcare Professionals. The program is unique and first of its kind in India. It addresses all possible aspects of healthcare quality in concise yet comprehensive manner, covering both the clinical as well as managerial aspects. The program provides sound technical knowledge through class room contact sessions comprising of 10-modules with each module being delivered in 3- hours. All modules although coherent, are standalone.

The modular design provides flexibility in scheduling. For example course can be conducted at stretch for full 5-days, followed up by 3-hour examination on 6th day. Other option is to organize in two parts. Part I is held for 3-days of contact sessions, covering first 5-modulesand 90-minute open book test. Part-II is held again for 3-days, during succeeding week or any other week covering 6th- 10th module and a 90-minute open book test. It is however necessary that all modules
including examinations must be completed within 30-days. The participants are certified based on their qualifying performance in examinations and internal assessment during exercises in the class room teaching.

Certified Healthcare Quality Professionals acquire sound knowledge about healthcare quality and patient safety and can be gainfully deployed/employed in  healthcare organizations for implementing, sustaining and improving all kinds of quality/accreditation programs.
