Influenza and Pneumococcal Immunizations 

In order to ensure that healthcare workers are protected from the diseases they are expected to treat, NQF undertook an effort to achieve voluntary consensus on performance measures for immunizations to prevent seasonal influenza and pneumococcal disease across healthcare settings in the United States. This report, the product of that effort, presents three national voluntary consensus standards that are based on current guidelines. These standards, vetted by numerous healthcare stakeholders, comprise a uniform approach to measurement across settings and population.
