Healthcare Quality Certification Commission (HQCC), the certifying arm of the National Association for Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) · 2024 CPHQ Detailed Content Outline, R2b file designation, copyright 2024 HQCC; footer states last updated 3/2023. Blueprint effective March 15, 2023, as printed on PDF pages 25–27 of the successfully opened official Domestic Candidate Handbook V.2024.7. That historical handbook is used to establish the matching blueprint's effective date, not current examination administration policies. Reviewed on 2026-10-09. No separate effective date is printed in the opened standalone outline. The workbook label 'Certified in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ)' maps to the official Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality examination; the assigned slug is preserved.

This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
