What is NQF?
2
NQF is an independent, nonprofit, membership organization that brings
together all stakeholders working to improve health and healthcare through
quality measurement.

• 42 year old father presents to an emergency department after “falling out”
at home
without any warning • Normal EKG; one week follow‐up• Two days later, another episode but did not
seek care• One week later, he comes in for his primary
care visit.
National Quality Strategy on
4
Leveraging the Data Dividend
5
• Multitude of new sources of data: registries, EHRs, personal devices, social determinants
• Great potential to know more– Can support better performance measurement
and better information to personalize care
• Challenges– Making sense of all these data sources– Getting data that is accurate, timely,
longitudinal and real‐time
Applying data to improve care and measurement
6
• Analytics for systems level improvement• Feedback on how measures affected care• New sources of data and ability to re‐use
data for multiple purposes• Use same data sources to support
improvement, accountability, and evidence generation
7
Patient Focused Episodes
• Functional Status• Quality of Life• Shared decision‐making• Clinical outcomes & PROs• Costs

Potential Patient‐Related Factors
9
• Genetics (e.g., predisposition to conditions)• Demographic characteristics (e.g., ethnicity, language)
• Clinical factors (e.g., diagnoses, conditions, severity)• Socioeconomic factors (e.g., poverty, education)
• Environmental factors (e.g., pollution, walking paths)
• Health‐related behaviors (e.g., tobacco, diet)
10
Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)
• The concept of any report of the status of a patient’s health condition that comes directly
from the patient, without interpretation of the patient’s response.

Data Sources Cited by the NQF Community‐Based Field Testing Groups
Data Sources for Community Focus
• The ability to measure population health improvement requires access to useful,
usable, appropriate data sources
• Data come from various sources– Local, state, federal agencies– Administrative claims
– Electronic and paper medical records, including registries
– Surveys (patients, community members, providers, others)
Data Challenges for Community Focus
• Small sample sizes of surveys
• Ability to integrate and share data– Coordination, cross‐linking, aggregation, system
interoperability
– Staff and resources available to perform these functions
• Timeliness of available data
• Variation in whether data is collected across regions• Gaining access to non‐medical data to improve
population health

NQF’s Measure Incubator: Environment for Innovative Measure Development
• Facilitation – Bring together those with ideas for measures with
the resources they need to see concepts turned into specifications
• Data and test beds– Continuous access to robust data throughout the
development and testing process
• Accelerated cycle time – Rapid‐cycle development and testing
