The NQF National Quality Healthcare Award was created in 1993 by the National Committee for Quality Health Care as the first award of its kind to recognize outstanding quality-driven healthcare organizations. For 14 years, the award has provided encouragement for improvements in quality through public recognition of organizations' accomplishments.
The NQF National Quality Healthcare Award was created in 1993 by the National Committee for Quality Health Care as the first award of its kind to recognize outstanding quality-driven healthcare organizations.
The first award went to The Henry Ford Health System (Detroit) in 1994 "…for success integrating quality values through its organization and community." In the subsequent 15 years award recipients include many prominent organizations. (Click here for complete list of prior Award winners.)
Since then, the award has provided encouragement for improvements in quality through public recognition of organizations' accomplishments. The Award moved to the National Quality Forum (NQF), as a result of the 2006 merger with the National Committee for Quality Health Care.
Through the National Quality Healthcare Award, NQF identifies organizations that are role models for achieving meaningful, sustainable quality improvement through performance measurement and demonstrated commitment to public reporting.
The NQF National Quality Healthcare Award is selected through a "blinded" review by a panel of jurors, using a uniform set of scoring criteria.
