NQMC relies on the Institute of Medicine definition of quality of care as "the degree to which health care services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge."

The educational resources will provide an introduction to the field of quality measurement and inform users how to best use NQMC.
