NQF Seeks Nominations for Steering Committee on Regionalized Emergency Medical Care Services - February 16, 2011

The National Quality Forum (NQF) is seeking nominations for members of a multi-stakeholder Steering Committee for a new project to provide guidance on a regionalized emergency medical care services measurement framework report. The Regionalized Emergency Medical Care Services project expands on NQF’s previous emergency care work, which endorsed consensus standards for emergency care at the provider and system level. This project seeks to identify approaches for systematically regionalizing emergency care services at the national, state and regional levels. The framework report, guided by the Steering Committee, will assess current regionalized emergency medical care services’ measures and guide future measure development while identifying measure gaps.

Nominations are due by March 10, 2011 at 6:00PM EST. Priority will be given to nominations from NQF members. Previously NAPH members have been valuable contributors to the earlier work on this topic. To apply to be on the steering committee, or to discuss what will be needed for a successful submission, please contact Jane Hooker at jhooker@naph.org.  Documents will need to be completed no later than March 9. Read the original notice and forms, and find further information here.

For more information on application procedures and forms, please contact Eric Colchamiro, MPA, at 202-783-1300 or emergencyservices@qualityforum.org.
