Our Work

In 1998, a Presidential Commission recommended the creation of a national forum in which healthcare’s many stakeholders could, together, find ways to improve the quality and safety of American healthcare. This recommendation led to the creation of NQF, a private, not-for-profit, public benefit corporation established in 1999 to standardize healthcare quality measurement and reporting. Just six years later, NQF has endorsed more than 200 consensus standards.

Now, for the first time, a new NQF publication, “Compendium 2000-2005,” presents in one document all NQF-endorsed™ consensus standards in an easy-to-use sourcebook.
