Such measures can provide additional tools for purchasers, health plans, consumers, clinicians, and other stakeholders working to create more feasible approaches to ongoing performance measurement and quality improvement. The Steering Committee recommended 72 of the 206 submitted measures for NQF endorsement. The following information was provided for people interested in commenting on the recommended measures, which were organized into the following topic areas.
