ubmit Response on Expert Commentary

The National Quality Measures Clearinghouse™ (NQMC), sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, welcomes responses to our posted expert commentaries on the NQMC Web site.

All responses will be reviewed by NQMC Staff and NQMC’s Editorial Board. Please keep your response brief and to the point. Responses must be presented in clear statements. We reserve the right to 1) publish your response, 2) copyedit your response, and 3) invite the author of the Expert Commentary to reply to a posted response. Excessively long or offensive and nonobjective responses will be disregarded.

Please complete the form below if you wish to have your response made accessible to our users or if you wish for NQMC to act on your response. NOTE: Providing such information however, does not ensure that your comment will be published or made available or that NQMC will take any course of action. That will be determined by NQMC staff in conjunction with our Editorial Board after review of the information you supply. Criteria for publication of responses to commentaries include:

• relevance of response to the subject of the commentary

• responses that provide a unique perspective to the commentary

• responses that offer an alternative view than the commentary

• responses that are clearly articulated

• responses that are neither excessively long or offensive and/or nonobjective
