Marketing Spotlight

Accreditation Focus Group

This July we’re going to be running two Accreditation and Quality focus groups. The first 10 people to sign up will recieve a free on-demand webinar from HCPro. You only have to do one of the focus groups, on either of these two dates:

Tuesday, July 17 11:30 a.m. EST
Thursday, July 19 at 2:30 p.m. EST

During the call, we'll be discussing things like:

What accreditation issues are you struggling the most with?
What do you think the big issues of 2018-2019 are going to be?
What’s your day-to-day like?
What do you think of the HCPro and how we can improve?

If you're interested, email me at bward@hcpro.com with the subject line "ACC Focus Group." Thanks! Brian Ward, Associate Editor
