Overview
NQF has convened two task forces to provide guidance on NQF’s measure
evaluation criteria. One task force is evaluating the subcriteria under
"Importance to Measure and Report", particularly the evidence that
supports the focus of measurement; the other is addressing the criteria
"Scientific Acceptability of Measure Properties”, with particular focus
on reliability and validity. Each task force will produce a draft report
with recommendation on evaluating these criteria. The draft reports
will be presented for NQF member and public review and comment prior to
final review and approval by the Consensus Standards Approval Committee
(CSAC) and Board of Directors.
