This brand-new offering gives NQF Members the opportunity to
showcase innovative and novel initiatives to improve quality. Winners will be
invited to share their work with more than 500 executives and thought leaders
during NQF’s must-attend 2018
Annual Conference.
“NQF is deeply committed to improving the quality of care
for all Americans,” said Shantanu Agrawal, MD, MPhil, president and CEO of the
National Quality Forum. “As an emergency department physician, I know how
central quality improvement is to our work to care for patients in the clinic,
in the hospital, and in the community. The Next-Generation Innovator Abstracts
gives our Members the opportunity to share their success stories to advance
quality at the frontlines of care.”
NQF encourages Members to submit abstracts about novel and
innovative approaches to advance the quality of patient care, including patient and family engagement, social determinants of health,
patient-reported outcomes, and organizational efficiencies and design. These
approaches may be part of current practice or under development.
- Abstracts should describe how this work:
- Makes healthcare better and safer;
- Brings best practices and data to bear to solve a
pressing health or healthcare challenge;
- Propels novel and innovative approaches into the
forefront of care.
To apply, submit an abstract by
Friday, February 23, 2018. Submissions should include a title, the names and
titles of proposed speakers, and an abstract (200 words maximum). NQF
encourages individuals as well as teams to apply.
Accepted presenters must register for NQF’s
Annual Conference and cover all travel and expenses to attend the
conference March 12-13 in Washington, DC.
