Register Now: Aug. 31 Webinar on New

Handbook For Improving Population

Health

Registration is open for an Aug. 31 webinar from noon to 12:30 p.m. EDT to highlight a new National Quality Forum (NQF) handbook that supports community efforts to address poor health outcomes, high health care costs, persistent health disparities and other challenges. Improving Population Health by Working with Communities: Action Guide 3.0 is the result of a three-year project led by AHRQ, NQF and other federal partners. Funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, the guide identifies best practices and resources for leaders from local businesses, community service organizations, health care institutions, health plans, public health departments and other entities. When registering, webinar attendees should select AHRQ in the drop-down box of member organizations. The new NQF guide is aligned with goals of the National Quality Strategy, which was established by the Affordable Care Act to provide a national focus on quality improvement and quality measurement.
