It identifies and endorses standardized measures to assess how well healthcare providers deliver care. Its goal is to ensure that patients receive safe, effective, and efficient treatment. By setting these standards, NQF helps hospitals, clinics, and policymakers focus on quality improvements, leading to better patient outcomes and more consistent healthcare across different settings. Essentially, NQF promotes accountability and continuous improvement in healthcare through the use of reliable quality measures.
