Attendees will learn how the DSI helps leaders spot early warning signs, track trends, and turn data into meaningful action that strengthens teams and aligns culture with organizational goals.

Join us at ASHHRA26 to explore how one unified tool can transform insight into impact.

💫 AP3: What It Is—and What It Is Not 💫

âž• What AP3 Is
The ASHHRA Preferred Partner Program (AP3)) connects healthcare HR leaders with trusted, vetted solution partners aligned to the realities of healthcare. AP3 is designed to help you explore options related to benefits, workforce strategy, compliance, credentialing, and risk management—with confidence and clarity. Each partner participates through a governed framework supported by ASHHRA, reinforcing transparency and relevance.

đźš« What AP3 Is Not
AP3 is not a directory, a vendor list, or a procurement portal. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it does not replace your organization's internal evaluation process. Engagement with AP3 partners is always based on alignment with your specific workforce and benefits priorities — not obligation, volume, or urgency.

👉 Learn More
If you would like to better understand how AP3 fits into ASHHRA’s broader mission—or explore the partners currently participating—we invite you to learn more: https://ow.ly/LVQ650YIkAy
