Prevention and Population Health Final Report - Spring 2018 Cycle 

Performance measures are needed to assess improvements in population health, as well as the extent to which healthcare stakeholders are using evidence-based strategies (e.g., prevention programs, screening, and community needs assessments). NQF’s work on prevention and population health extends to efforts to reduce disparities in health outcomes and promote the coordination of communities to improve local population health. For the spring 2018 cycle, the Prevention and Population Health Standing Committee evaluated one screening measure for maintenance of endorsement using NQF’s standard evaluation criteria; the measure maintained its endorsement.
