Patient Experience and Function Final Report - Spring 2018 Cycle 

Ensuring that every patient and family member is engaged as a partner in coordinated care is core to advancing the quality of our healthcare system. NQF’s Patient Experience and Function measure topic area encompasses measures that address health-related quality of life and the many factors that influence it, including communication, care coordination, transitions of care, and use of health information technology. During the spring cycle of 2018, the Patient Experience and Function Standing Committee evaluated two newly submitted measures against NQF’s standard evaluation criteria. Both new measures submitted for evaluation were endorsed.
