    OutCare to Serve as a Healthcare Expert on National Quality Forum (NQF) 2022 Leadership Consortium

    By croman | Health Standards, LGBTQ+, Primary Care, World | Comments are Closed | 15 June, 2022 | 0

    INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The National Quality Forum (NQF) today announced the names of 35 senior leaders from NQF Member Organizations, including OutCare Health, who have been selected to participate in its 2022 Leadership Consortium. The Leadership Consortium is a prestigious and exclusive forum of multistakeholder healthcare experts representing NQF Member Organizations, where they share their collective thought leadership to identify actionable strategies to improve healthcare quality and drive lasting change in key areas. The group’s guidance informs the direction of NQF programs and drives improvement across healthcare.

    “To achieve meaningful change, operational learnings and quality measurement need to be inextricably tied. The addition of the Implementation Collaborative to the Leadership Consortium is not only critical, but a unique multistakeholder opportunity to pilot promising strategies, which in turn will inform prospects for driving impactful change,” said Leadership Consortium Co-Chair Reena Duseja, MD, MS, Senior Advisor, Office of Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Quality and Patient Safety, Veterans Health Administration.

    The group will hold its first meeting next month. During this meeting, the members of the Leadership Consortium will discuss six urgent issues in the current healthcare landscape, including the collection and use of social determinants of health data and the improvement of patient safety in ambulatory care settings. The group will prioritize one topic as a focus area, then collectively identify and recommend improvement opportunities to be tested during the Implementation Collaborative throughout 2023.

    “We have been gathering feedback from our Member Organizations to elevate the impact of this forum. They are eager for the opportunity to maximize their contributions to continuous improvement within the field and it was encouraging to see their overwhelming enthusiasm in the high volume of applications received. We are looking forward to working with this stellar group of national leaders to drive meaningful change in healthcare,” said Dana Gelb Safran, ScD, President & CEO, NQF.

    “NQF has become an integral component of American healthcare’s efforts to improve the safety, quality, and efficiency of care delivery,” said Leadership Consortium Co-Chair Peter Angood, MD, President & CEO, American Association for Physician Leadership. “The Leadership Consortium continues to address significantly important topic areas by identifying the issues of concern, and then providing actionable solutions and next steps for helping to refine approaches on these various topic areas. By doing so, the Leadership Consortium itself is now becoming an important and influential group within healthcare.”

    “OutCare is excited to be selected to serve on NQF’s Leadership Consortium,” said Christopher Roman, Executive Director of OutCare Health. “It is a great opportunity to connect with other leaders in the field, collaborate, and drive meaningful change in healthcare and give LGBTQ+ communities a voice at the table.”
