The Measure Incubator® embodies NQF’s mission by providing the quality measurement community with a more efficient environment to develop and test measures that matter.
The goals of the NQF’s Measure Incubator® are to:
- Facilitate incubation of more meaningful measures
- Accelerate the process to close measurement gaps
- Spur development of electronic clinical quality measures through use of EHR data
- Drive outcome-based healthcare measurement that better reflects the voices of patients and caregivers
- Advance measurement science by seeking to make tools and test beds more accessible
- Improve availability of meaningful measures by prospecting for proven measures in use by leading providers (at the local or regional level) that could be developed into standards for the nation
