Nearly 15 million instances of medical harm occur each year, costing the US roughly $17-$29 billion. State adverse event reporting systems - in place in 27 states across the country - use NQF's serious reportable events as a guide for reducing harm and improving healthcare.
 
NQF is pleased to launch upgrades to your dashboard, the website tool that allows you to track and personalize your NQF involvement and makes it easier to quickly see current and upcoming projects and events
 

 

"There is a huge gap between what is, and what can be. We look within ourselves and ask can we do better, and the answer better be yes."
Michael Dowling, President and CEO, North Shore – LIJ Health System
 
HIT: Building an Infrastructure for Quality
“HIT is not just a good idea, not just an innovation – HIT is essential if we hope to achieve the goals we have set to achieve effective, affordable care that fuels rather than drains our economy.”  Janet Corrigan, NQF President and CEO
