NQF - Voluntary Consensus Standards for Diabetes Quality Improvement

The National Quality Forum (NQF) has announced the endorsement of 29 national voluntary consensus standards for diabetes care for internal quality improvement (QI) and community-level monitoring.

The purpose of these NQF-endorsed™ measures is to improve the care of adults who have diabetes mellitus. The standards are derived from a larger set of measures advocated by the National Diabetes Quality Improvement Alliance or measures developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
