  6. Content » NQF » Mission • improve the quality of American healthcare by setting national priorities and goals for performance improvement • endorse national consensus standards for measuring and publicly reporting on performance • promote the attainment of national goals through education and outreach programs

  7. Content » NQF » Consensus Standards National Technology and Transfer Advancement of Act of 1995 (NTTAA) • five key attributes of a “voluntary consensus standards-setting body:” openness, balance of interest, due process, consensus, and an appeals process • obligates federal government to adopt voluntary consensus standards • encourages federal government to participate in setting voluntary consensus standards

  8. Content » NQF » Membership • A private, non-profit voluntary consensus standards-setting organization • Broad membership (350+ members) organized into 8 Councils that • Provide stakeholder perspectives to all NQF deliberations; • Enable various groups within a council to convene, identify issues and relay information in a unified voice; and • Promote collaboration among different groups within a stakeholder perspective. • Councils: • Consumers • Health Care Professionals • Health Plans • Provider Organizations • Public/Community Health Agencies • Purchasers • Research and Quality Improvement Organizations • Supplier & Industry

  24. Structure » Interoperable Measure A “well-defined quality measure” is composed of a set of common data elements, encoded using standard taxonomies, structured logically into a standardized expression that can be shared and applied to patient data and reported NQF HITEP HITSP AMA-NCQA Collaborative PQA QRDA

  25. Structure » HITEP » Goals • QASC charged NQF to establish a Health IT Expert panel for: • Establishment of a priority order for a subset of existing AQA and HQA measures; • Development of a generic prioritization framework that could be used across many clinical conditions; and • Identification of a set of common data elements to be standardized to enable automation of AQA and HQA measures through electronic health records and health information exchange. • Convened twice in Washington, DC on May 31, 2007 and September 24, 2007.

  26. Structure » HITEP » Priority Order AQA/HQA NQF-Endorsed™ measures related to IOM Priority Conditions defined by maximal impact, improvability, and inclusiveness: • Asthma • Cancer screening • Care coordination • Diabetes • End-of-life • Frailty associated with old age • Immunization • Ischemic heart disease • Major depression • Medical management • Pregnancy and childbirth • Severe and persistent mental illness • Stroke • Tobacco dependence treatment in adults
