NQF joins Joint Commission enterprise as affiliate
The Joint Commission and National Quality Forum (NQF) announced a strategic affiliation to accelerate improvements in health for all people.
This affiliation will bolster The Joint Commission’s evolving national and international processes in evidence-based, data-driven, and outcomes-oriented accreditation and certification — accelerating improvements across the continuum-of-care while reducing the burden of measurement on healthcare organizations and workers.
NQF will join the Joint Commission enterprise, while maintaining its independence in convening and developing consensus-based measurement standards, implementation guidance, and practices that benefit all stakeholders. This will allow both The Joint Commission and NQF to build upon their shared expertise in measuring quality and rationalizing the measurement landscape, so the focus shifts from competing measures to advancing key outcomes.
“We believe that by combining the unique capabilities of each organization, we can better support focused improvement in healthcare,” said Jonathan B. Perlin, M.D., Ph.D., M.S.H.A., M.A.C.P., F.A.C.M.I, President and CEO of The Joint Commission. “Our goals are shared across the patient, consumer, payer, purchaser, and provider communities: Safer, higher value, more equitable, and more compassionate healthcare.”
