We know there are limited educational resources out there for accreditation professionals to swap best-practices and network with their peers. And that’s why we could not be more excited about this year’s AHAP conference, coming up in just a few months.

The 6th Annual AHAP Conference, to be held May 10-11, 2012 at the Hilton at Walt Disney World® Resort in Lake Buena Vista (Orlando), FL, is a multi-source, educational experience that will provide accreditation professionals and survey coordinators with the following resources:

• Top Joint Commission findings for 2011
• Leading experts in Life Safety and Data Management
• Representatives from The Joint Commission, DNV, and HFAP
• Peer networking opportunities
• Eleven hours of continuing education credits for ANCC, CSHA, and NAHQ
• And much more!
