MARBLEHEAD, MA USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE(TM) -- OCTOBER 5, 2006: HCPro is proud to launch the exclusive, new networking organization, the Association for Healthcare Accreditation Professionals (AHAP).

If you are a survey coordinator in a healthcare facility, you know that your role has changed considerably over the past several years.

You collect more data than ever before...You train staff daily...And you must have your hospital continuously ready for all types of surveys.

If you're like most accreditation professionals we have heard from, you are in constant need of ready-made ideas and products to help make your job easier. However, up until now, there's been no official association or networking organization for people like you.

THAT'S WHERE AHAP COMES IN:

AHAP is a connected community of accreditation professionals who share their challenges, knowledge, and experiences with each other.

AHAP offers its members staff training ideas, tips on professional development, and educational information affecting preparation for all types of surveys.

As an AHAP member, you also receive the much-needed (and until now, much neglected) opportunity to network with your accreditation peers through member publications, task forces, and an annual conference.

To become an AHAP member today, please visit www.accreditationprofessional.org, or call HCPro's knowledgeable customer service team at (800) 650-6787 and mention source code EO50361A.
