AHAP is accepting applications for The Accreditation Professional of the Year awards through Friday, April 6.

The Accreditation Professional of the Year awards were created by AHAP in an effort to recognize and celebrate survey coordinators and accreditation professionals who have made tangible improvements to the survey prep process in their facilities, and have demonstrated excellence in leadership, teamwork, and regulatory expertise. AHAP recognizes accreditation professionals in two categories: 2012 Accreditation Professional of the Year and Best New Accreditation Professional.

To nominate a peer for either of these awards, please fill out this nomination form and send to AHAP Associate Director Jackie Beck at jbeck@hcpro.com. More information about the awards can be found on the nomination form as well.
