The Leadership Consortium is an exclusive forum designed to elevate our members’ voices to help identify meaningful and impactful issues that will drive change in healthcare for every person. The National Quality Forum (NQF) has annually convened this forum of multistakeholder healthcare leaders since 2017.
As a direct result of the priorities set by the Leadership Consortium, NQF has convened numerous multistakeholder panels of experts to address topics including the opioid crisis, serious mental illness, social determinants of health (SDOH), patient-centered health system co-design, healthcare workplace violence, medication safety, and virtual healthcare quality.
Starting in the spring of 2022, the Leadership Consortium is engaging in an approach that is both strategic and action-oriented. Leadership Consortium members will continue to use their shared expertise to prioritize an emergent issue, and now have a unique opportunity to pilot promising solutions in an Implementation Collaborative. By serving as both an advisor and a change agent, the Leadership Consortium will provide the broader healthcare field with opportunities to design, implement, and test new strategies to drive quality improvement and measurement.
