Patient Access Week
April 1 - April 7
Patient Access drives healthcare! We provide quality care in patient registration and all of its support processes to patients, providers, and payors throughout a patient's healthcare experience. Not only do we represent the first impression, becoming the face for the entire facility, but we also serve as the key component in putting every healthcare visit in motion. It all starts and ends with patient access management and we truly do pave the road to success for our patients and our facilities!
Established in 1982, National Healthcare Access Personnel Week is a week-long celebration of the people in the patient access profession. The date marks the anniversary of the National Association of Healthcare Access Management, the only national professional organization dedicated to promoting excellence within the field. The celebrations span the entire week surrounding the anniversary, April 5.
Join us in recognizing healthcare access professionals for their continued accomplishments of service in the healthcare access continuum by celebrating National Healthcare Access Personnel Week, April 1 - 7, 2012.
How Can We Celebrate National Healthcare Access Personnel Week? There are numerous opportunities for you to gain recognition for your department. If your hospital has a newsletter, a feature article on the access department can appear that week (Sample Newsletter Article). Local newspapers often have sections highlighting various community events and can serve to help draw attention to the event. Displays describing the work, growth, and/or evolution of the department or spotlighting on the access department's employees can be set up in a central, heavily traveled part of the hospital.
