NQF now accepting quality data set model comments

TriMed Staff | | Health Exec | EMR/EHR
The National Quality Forum (NQF) will be holding a public comment period on the Quality Data Set (QDS), an information model that defines concepts used in quality measures and clinical care to automate EHR use, through July 1.

According to the NQF, the QDS is a way to describe clinical concepts in a standardized format, allowing providers, researchers and measure developers monitoring clinical performance and outcomes to clearly and concisely communicate necessary information.

Quarterly, the NQF accepts public comment on the QDS, and the forum’s Health IT Advisory Committee reviews the feedback and makes appropriate updates to the QDS. A public comment period is then opened on the revised QDS model.

Further information regarding the QDS and comment period can be found on the NQF website.
