health care quality.
The NCQA Health Quality Awards recognize those individuals who have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to improving the quality of health care by one or more of the following:
 Improving the management or delivery of health care in such a way as to make the system more
effective, efficient, and compassionate.
 Advancing health care quality through development of appropriate public policy.
