CHCA Owner Hospital members tell us the greatest value they receive from participating in CHCA Forums is networking and education. Members learn new practices from their peers that when implemented in their own hospitals create safer, more effective care. They benchmark with their peers to find new ways of delivering care and new strategies for growing their service lines. The CHCA Forums offer a range of educational opportunities tailored to children’s hospitals.

CHCA Forums use a variety of communication tools – webcasts, listservs, conference calls, eNewsletters and topic-specific meetings. Some Forums also manage member-driven group projects and create case studies to educate staff on pediatric-specific and department-specific best practices.
