Maintaining Quality in the time of COVID
OVERVIEW
Please join fellow Quality Leaders at ASHNHA’s 2020 Quality Learning Collaborative for an informational resource filled day. After our April in-person event was canceled, we moved some presentations to be virtual. We have planned for 1.5 hour sessions, on four days the week of August 24. August 26 is currently open as our ASHNHA Virtual Annual Conference will have a webinar that day which you should receive more information about at a later date.
