Public and private sector leaders moved to create the National Quality Forum (NQF) in late 1999 out of a shared sense of urgency about the need for valid, reliable, and standardized healthcare performance measures to support and advance public accountability, quality improvement efforts, increased patient safety, and value-based purchasing. Currently, NQF has over 350 members reflecting broad participation from all parts of the healthcare system. Largely through the efforts of NQF, standardized healthcare quality performance measures are becoming available for use at both the local and national levels and through all care settings. With the increased adoption of NQF endorsed(TM) voluntary consensus standards, dialogue and collaboration among all healthcare stakeholders has become increasingly critical. NQF?s Annual National Policy Conference has become an opportunity for healthcare stakeholders to come together to learn about the latest developments in healthcare quality and to discuss the challenges and opportunities in implementing NQF-endorsed voluntary consensus standards. A focus of NQF?s 8th Annual National Policy Conference is the implications of pay for performance and public reporting for performance measurement. The structure of the meeting reflects what the Members and public have indicated as the most beneficial (i.e. plenary sessions, panel discussions, and small group breakouts) These sessions enable attendees to learn about significant trends in healthcare quality and engage in focused discussions on implementing performance measures and other tools in their organizations.
