NQF:  

NQF conducted discussions with public- and private-sector organizations to assess the degree of interest in and potential value of having a standardized approach to tracking measures and their related information. The stakeholder discussions were tailored to two audiences: (1) stakeholders who develop measures and/or maintain information about those measures; and (2) stakeholders who use or implement measures and seek information about measures.

The Summary of Stakeholder Discussions describes what was shared by stakeholders regarding:

• Current systems and approaches in use for maintaining or accessing measure information;
• Challenges in maintaining or accessing complete and reliable measure information; and
• Potential value in and key considerations for a standardized system for or approach to maintaining and/or accessing measure information.

The information from these discussions will help inform an in-person meeting on September 5, 2012, at which participants will explore needs, related trade-offs, and potential recommendations for a standardized system or approach for gathering, storing, and accessing measure information.
