Measure Feedback Loop Pilot Options Technical Report 

The National Quality Forum (NQF) convened a multistakeholder committee to identify and recommend effective approaches to incorporate real-time feedback on healthcare performance measures from providers, healthcare facilities, and other measure end-users back to the measure developer. This report outlines two potential approaches for piloting an improved NQF measure feedback loop for consideration by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The analysis of the proposed strategies and pilot options—including their strengths and weaknesses, costs and benefits—serve as the basis for the selection of a pilot option by CMS.
