National Quality Forum

The National Quality Forum (NQF) is an organization that sets standards to improve healthcare quality across the United States. It reviews and endorses measures that track how well healthcare providers deliver safe, effective, and patient-centered care. By doing so, the NQF helps ensure that healthcare systems focus on improving outcomes, reducing errors, and providing consistent, high-quality services. Their work informs policy, guides performance improvements, and supports transparency in healthcare quality. Ultimately, the NQF aims to enhance patient safety and ensure everyone receives the best possible care.
