Abstract
The NQF portfolio of measures has grown over the past decade, and particularly in the past couple of years as public and private payers have embraced the notion of using standardized performance measures to drive a value-based agenda. It now addresses many more settings of care, conditions, and types of providers and has expanded beyond clinical measures to include patient experience and cost/resource use measures. This report provides a high-level overview of what kinds of stakeholders are using the portfolio and for what purposes, based on the best information available at this time.
