NQF seeks comments on using AI in health care quality measurement

The National Quality Forum seeks public comments on a draft report discussing the use of artificial intelligence methods in health care quality measurement. The report includes guidance and recommendations for developing, selecting and implementing AI-enabled quality measures in accountability programs, including value-based payment, public reporting, performance-based provider network designs and accreditation. The NQF says that while AI could transform data collection and analysis, using AI in quality measurement effectively requires addressing novel and complex challenges to ensure accuracy, consistency and adequate transparency, while managing the potential for unintended consequences. AI measures need to be feasible to implement for large and small organizations. To develop guidance and recommendations, NQF convened a national technical expert panel. Public comments are due Oct. 19. (NQF news release, 9/24/25)
