National Quality Healthcare Award 


The National Quality Healthcare Award is presented by NQF annually to an outstanding, quality-driven healthcare organization. The award was created in 1993 by the National Committee for Quality Healthcare (NCQH) as the first award of its kind. The award moved to the NQF in 2006 as a result of NQF's merger with NCQH.

Why apply for the NQF National Quality Healthcare Award?

Be recognized as a "Quality Leader." The winning organization will receive professional recognition for achievement as a “quality leader” and will be honored at a gala reception hosted by NQF. The award recipient will be profiled in Modern Healthcare magazine and will have the opportunity to highlight the award in other industry- and consumer-oriented media and marketing materials.

Serve as a role model. The award will provide the winner an opportunity to serve as a role model to promote the system-level redesign and diffusion of best practices to others in the industry. The winning organization will be featured in a webinar providing an opportunity to share best practices and help create a body of knowledge that will be accessible to all healthcare executives to replicate in their organizations.

The 2012 National Quality Healthcare Award is presented in partnership with Modern Healthcare.
