The National Quality Forum (NQF) is a not-for-profit, nonpartisan, membership-based organization that works to improve healthcare outcomes, safety, equity, and affordability. Our unique role is to bring all voices to our table to forge multistakeholder consensus on quality measurement and improvement standards and practices that achieve measurable health improvements for all. NQF is a proud affiliate of The Joint Commission.
Today’s quality measures cannot deliver the quality care needed for all. We need a new generation of measures that align with outcomes that matter to patients and clinicians, fill high-priority gaps for payers, purchasers, and providers, and are ready for immediate implementation. NQF brings diverse stakeholders together to develop national priorities for effective quality measures that will dramatically improve healthcare and deliver greater value to the nation.
