NQF Updates Roadmap Designed To Amplify Consumer Voice In Digital Health Care Quality Measures

The National Quality Forum (NQF) has released an updated Technical Guidance Report to support measure developers in creating patient-reported outcome performance measures (PRO-PMs), which are critical to elevating the patient voice in assessments of health care quality. PRO-PMs use feedback gathered directly from patients to evaluate health outcomes and the quality of care provided by hospitals, health plans, and clinicians. The measures quantify changes over time in how patients are feeling and functioning, and thus, give essential information about health outcomes and a basis for developing evidence-based care.

The updated report comes as part of NQF . . .
