National Priorities Partnership Committee

Twenty-eight organizations have been invited to serve on the National Priorities Partnership Committee that NQF will convene to identify a core set of priorities where there is compelling evidence that opportunities exist to produce sizable improvements in health and health care.  These organizations are seen as the “effecter arms” for purposes of implementation and as such have significant leverage to encourage the health system to focus on achieving these priorities as a result of the roles they play in fashioning payment incentives, public reporting, quality oversight programs, or professional norms.  Access the list of the individuals serving on the NPP Committee.  Organizations are displayed below by stakeholder category.
