In a report issued in 1998, the President's Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Health Care Industry proposed creation of a voluntary, private sector entity to develop and implement effective, efficient, and coordinated strategies for ensuring the widespread availability of valid and reliable information on quality for use by all healthcare stakeholders. The National Forum for Health Care Quality Measurement and Reporting (National Quality Forum, or NQF) was established in 1999, with a mission of the NQF is to improve healthcare quality by deploying a strategy to standardize the means by which healthcare quality data are measured and reported, and to ensure that healthcare quality data are widely available. By deliberate design, the NQF gives equal voice to consumers, healthcare purchasers, health plans and providers, and quality improvement and research organizations. Together, NQF members work to promote a common approach to foster systemwide capacity for quality improvement. The purpose of the NQF Annual Meeting is to: 1) foster a sense of common purpose and develop a shared framework for developing, implementing, and reporting consistent measures of the quality of care across consumers, purchasers, and providers of healthcare; 2) disseminate information and share experiences and concerns about the implementation of quality measures and evidence- based "best practices to improve quality; 3) link research to practice by examining technical issues in the development of new ways of measuring the quality of care, with an emphasis on issues that relate to feasibility and the use of measures after development; and 4) identify important areas for future research relating to the development, testing, implementation, and reporting of quality measures. The first NQF Annual Meeting in September 2000 is intended to meet these objectives both generally, as the first step in a long-term effort to foster collaboration and a framework for healthcare quality measurement; and specifically, in support of the NQF's initial activities in the areas of hospital quality measurement and medical errors.

在1998年发布的一份报告中，总统保健行业消费者保护和质量咨询委员会建议建立一个自愿的私营部门实体，以制定和实施有效、高效和协调的战略，以确保广泛获得有效和可靠的质量信息，供所有保健利益攸关方使用。国家医疗质量测量和报告论坛(National Quality Forum，简称NQF)成立于1999年，其使命是通过制定一项战略来标准化医疗质量数据的测量和报告方法，并确保医疗质量数据的广泛可用，从而提高医疗质量。通过精心设计，NQF给予消费者、医疗保健购买者、健康计划和提供者以及质量改进和研究机构平等的发言权。NQF成员共同努力促进一种共同的方法，以培养全系统的质量改进能力。NQF年会的目的是：1)培养共同的目的感，为在消费者、购买者和医疗保健提供者之间制定、实施和报告一致的护理质量措施制定、实施和报告共享框架；2)传播信息，分享关于实施质量措施和以证据为基础的“提高质量的最佳实践”的经验和关切；3)通过审查衡量护理质量的新方法的开发中的技术问题，将研究与实践联系起来，重点放在与开发后措施的可行性和使用有关的问题上；以及4)确定与质量措施的开发、测试、实施和报告相关的未来研究的重要领域。NQF于2000年9月召开的第一届年会旨在总体上实现这些目标，作为促进合作和医疗质量衡量框架的长期努力的第一步；具体而言，支持NQF在医院质量衡量和医疗差错领域的初步活动。
