Video Transcription

Video Summary

NACU’s informational session outlines the CPHQ (Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality) credential, including eligibility, exam structure, preparation, and recertification. No specific prerequisites are required, though about two years of healthcare quality experience is recommended. The exam is based on a current job analysis and covers seven main domains, with most questions focused on application and analysis. Candidates should review the Candidate Handbook, which explains registration, scheduling, and test policies for domestic and international candidates. NACU offers optional prep resources such as a textbook, practice test, virtual instructor-led class, and self-paced online review course. The exam has 140 questions, 3 hours, and is administered by PSI either at a test center or online. Passing requires a scaled score of 600. After passing, candidates earn the CPHQ designation and must recertify every two years by completing 30 continuing education hours.
