Editor's Note

The Joint Commission on June 19 announced that the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) has issued a new report−“Key Workforce Competencies for Quality-Driven Healthcare”− that focuses on creating a new framework for competencies needed by healthcare organizations to meet new goals for quality-driven healthcare.

Among the competencies:

• Data analytics
• Emerging payment models

Healthcare professionals can learn more about how to achieve these competencies at NAHQ’s annual conference, NAHQ NEXT 2019, September 16-18, in Phoenix, Arizona, the Joint Commission says.
