NQMC Update Service: May 30, 2016

Announcements

Notice to Our Users - Redesigned National Quality Measures Clearinghouse (NQMC) Coming Soon! We are redesigning the NQMC Web site for release this summer! Responsive Web Design (RWD) techniques will provide a better viewing experience across a wide range of devices, from desktop and laptop computers, to tablets and mobile phones.

In addition to the new design, NQMC will feature updated searching capabilities by using filters and facets for refining your search results, and updated browsing capabilities for the Browse by Measure Domain and Browse by Organization pages. The redesigned NQMC Web site will be more intuitive, with an improved, new look and feel, but will maintain the same great content that has defined NQMC for many years. For a preview, visit NQMC.
