The Leadership Consortium is an exclusive forum designed to elevate our members’ voices to help identify meaningful and impactful issues that will drive change in healthcare for every person. NQF has convened this forum of multistakeholder healthcare leaders annually since 2017.
As a direct result of the priorities set by the Leadership Consortium, NQF has convened numerous multistakeholder panels of experts to address topics including the opioid crisis, serious mental illness, social drivers of health (SDOH), patient-centered health system co-design, healthcare workplace violence, medication safety, and virtual healthcare quality.
In 2022, NQF expanded the Consortium’s scope, moving from a one-year to a two-year cycle with the second year dedicated to piloting recommendations defined during year one in a new phase called the Implementation Collaborative.
-
Phase 1: Prioritization — Leadership Consortium members prioritize one healthcare topic and a set of actionable recommendations to improve outcomes in that topic area.
-
Phase 2: Implementation — A subset of the Leadership Consortium members implement the actionable recommendations through projects hosted by their organizations, and all Leadership Consortium members come together in a series of meetings to collaborate on project progress, lessons learned, and promising practices.
Both phases culminate in a final report summarizing key recommendations that will drive meaningful and lasting change in health and healthcare. Through this process, NQF’s Leadership Consortium continues to advance quality measurement to aid in overcoming today’s top healthcare challenges.
