The National Priorities Partnership is another national collaborative effort, initially including 28 national health care organizations, convened in 2008 as an initiative of the NQF. Its role is to join stakeholders from both public and private sectors to influence policy encompassing every aspect of the health care system. Stakeholder groups include consumer groups, employers, government, health plans, health care organizations, health care professions, scientists, accrediting and certifying bodies, and quality alliances. Today the National Priorities Partnership includes three main areas of collaboration: the Measures Application Partnership (MAP), National Quality Partners (NQP), and the Measure Incubator.

Nursing was represented only by ANA in the initial stakeholder group, but the Nursing Alliance for Quality Care (NAQC) was added as the group expanded. The partnership took the early step of identifying a set of national priorities and goals to coalesce efforts toward achieving performance improvement by stakeholders on high‐leverage areas with the potential to make the most substantial contributions in the near term to the health care delivery systems of the nation and ultimately to consumers. In 2011 the National Priorities Partnership expanded its focus. Significantly, the full list of priorities and goals, consistent with the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies identified in Chapter 1, had substantial impact on the final recommendations of the National Quality Strategy.
