- Dr. Volk Asked to Serve on National Quality Forum’s Advancing Measurement of Diagnostic Excellence Committee
CAP President, Emily E. Volk, MD, MBA, FCAP, has been invited to participate in the Diagnostic Excellence Committee for NQF’s Advancing Measurement of Diagnostic Excellence for Better Healthcare Initiative. Under Dr. Volk’s leadership, the CAP has significantly widened its portfolio of work on an ecosystem of approaches that will have significant cumulative effect on diagnostic safety and excellence.
As part of this Committee, Dr. Volk will aid in identifying the existing barriers to diagnostic excellence measurement and help find innovative solutions to overcome barriers. The Committee’s work will not only focus on the near term, but where the healthcare quality measurement landscape needs to be.
In a letter to Dr. Volk, NQF states, “We received many compelling statements of interest, underscoring the strong desire and critical need for this work. While it was challenging to narrow down such a highly qualified pool of applicants, we believe this group brings the right mix of unique perspectives and deep expertise that will help shape the future of this critical area of healthcare. We are excited to get started in September.”
