AHVAP Certification Center Chief Certification Officer Earns Prestigious Credentialing Professional Board Certification

Dear Healthcare Value Analysis Partners:

The AHVAP Certification Center Board is pleased to announce Chief Certification Officer, Dr. Hudson Garrett, has become one of the first credentialing professionals in the world to receive the prestigious new Institute of Credentialing Excellence Credentialing Professional Certification.

Holders of the I.C.E. Certified Credentialing Professional™ certification have demonstrated competence in professional credentialing, including in governance and resources, credentialing program operations, and assessment development and validation. Though they may be focused on certain functions in their day-to-day activities, they have demonstrated knowledge across all credentialing activities and understand the interplay among functions.

The I.C.E. Certified Credentialing Professional (ICE-CCP™) allows credentialing professionals to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and abilities in governance, program operations, and assessment development and validation. As the professional home for credentialing organizations and individuals, I.C.E. serves as the primary resource for best practices and is uniquely qualified to develop this certification opportunity for credentialing professionals.

"The entire AHVAP Certification Center Board of Directors is thrilled to recognize Dr. Hudson Garrett, our Chief Certification Officer, for earning his board certification as board-certified Credentialing Professional, which is issued by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. This recognition is significant for all our AHVAP Certification Center credentialing programs, which includes our signature Certified Value Analysis Healthcare Professional (CVAHP™) designation and our newest micro-credentialing programs. This rigorous certification examination covers Governance and Resources, Credentialing Program Operations, and Assessment Development and Evaluation. We could not be more thrilled to have this level of expertise on our AHVAP Certification Center Team," said Karen Niven, Chair of the AHVAP Certification Center Board of Directors.
