Gastrointestinal / Genitourinary Measure Endorsement (Stage 1) 

The gastrointestinal/genitourinary (GI/GU) measure endorsement project is a pilot of the proposed two-stage Consensus Development Process, which seeks to provide early guidance to measure developers on whether a measure concept meets NQF's criterion for importance to measure and report before they invest time and resources in specifying and testing a measure. This report summarizes the review of the 18 measure concepts submitted to the project for evaluation against the Importance criterion.
