The NQF Leadership Consortium brings a diverse range of perspectives from NQF’s membership to the table, including patient partners, clinicians, health plans, and quality improvement experts, and others. These experts and thought leaders leverage their collective expertise to identify actionable strategies and national policy levers to drive change for individuals and their families.
The 2020 Leadership Consortium identified three priorities for action to guide NQF's 2021 initiatives: virtual healthcare quality, patient access to care, and patient reported outcomes.
