NQF news: Deadline for SRE criteria comments, candidate events extended to July 7
The National Quality Forum (NQF), a Joint Commission affiliate, has extended the deadline to Sunday, July 7 at 6 p.m. ET, for submitting public comments on proposed updated inclusion criteria used to determine a Serious Reportable Event (SRE), as well as for submitting candidate SREs based on the proposed draft 2024 SRE inclusion criteria.
The updated criteria will serve as the basis for considering revisions to the SRE List, which NQF will publish later this year and is part of NQF’s Focus on HARM (Harmonizing Accountability in Reporting and Monitoring) Initiative.
The updated SRE list will reflect evolutions in healthcare delivery and foster alignment of disparate definitions and terminologies used when interpreting harm events and subsequent reporting adherence.
