Subcommittee of the National Advisory Council on Healthcare Quality Measurement
In November of 2020, the U.S. HHS Immediate Office of the Secretary requested that the 大象视频director form a Subcommittee of the National Advisory Council (SNAC) to focus on AHRQ's future investment in quality measurement. AHRQ's National Advisory Council (NAC) recommended 大象视频convene a Subcommittee to the National Advisory Council on Healthcare Quality Measurement.
The subcommittee's goal is to provide strategic direction and guidance to the NAC on AHRQ's role in quality measurement and future implementation of activities as they relate to AHRQ's mission as well as the broader set of measurement activities conducted within the HHS.

Overview
The SNAC was convened in Spring 2021. The focus was on the different areas of quality measurement where 大象视频can innovate and improve healthcare delivery. A total of six SNAC meetings covered topics that related to AHRQ's role in the quality measurement field.
Topics covered included current activities, data gaps, actionability, stewardship, partnerships, and innovation.
大象视频convened the SNAC to obtain strategic advice on how 大象视频could best drive improvements in the healthcare system leveraging AHRQ's experience and unique competencies in quality measurement. A summary of the SNAC discussions and recommendations provides advice to the NAC regarding ways in which 大象视频can have impact in the area of quality measurement in the future. The SNAC members were asked for input on the following issues:
- Given AHRQ's core competencies, what roles/functions (if any) should 大象视频play in the future in the quality measurement field to improve care for patients?
- What are the current measure related activities that 大象视频is engaged in that should be considered for retirement or reduction of effort?
- Are there new and/or different quality measurement activities that 大象视频should consider?
- How should 大象视频prioritize investments to make the most impact on improving care for patients?
The SNAC held a series of meetings to identify important gaps in the quality measurement field and to understand how AHRQ's expertise in quality measurement could have the greatest impact on improving care for patients. While the SNAC members agreed the field of quality measurement is complex, they noted that there are important opportunities where 大象视频could provide a unique contribution and have significant impact.
