Laura Cranston, RpH: PQA likes to think of itself not strictly as a measure developer but as a full-fledged quality organization, and as such, we engage in 4 primary activities: measure development and implementation is one, education around health care quality issue, research, and then the hallmark of PQA is that we are a neutral convener of a multistakeholder base.
