NQP is an NQF initiative under the National Priorities Partnership that provides an active forum for NQF members to connect, collaborate, and provide thought leadership on quality improvement strategies for achieving national health and health care goals. NQP provides practical, action‐oriented initiatives to drive meaningful and lasting change for patients and their families in the areas of safety and quality. NQP is guided by an NQP Leadership Consortium, which, in concert with the larger NQF structure, works to identify, prioritize, and seek strategies to address some of the high‐priority and complex health care issues. The Leadership Consortium and its NQP Action Teams include representation from the Nursing Alliance for Quality Care, and other nurses and field experts, along with consumers and patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders. These individuals are appointed to grapple with problems and, over a period of months rather than years, develop high‐level strategies, action plans, tool kits, and other resources to assist those on the front lines to improve quality in their organizations. The 2020 NQP Priorities for Action included improving medication safety, promoting high‐quality home‐based care, and preventing maternal mortality (https://www.qualityforum.org/National_Quality_Partners.aspx#:~:text=National%20Quality%20Partners%20(NQP)%2C,health%20and%20healthcare%20quality%20goals).
