WASHINGTON, August 17, 2022 (Newswire.com) - The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) today announced it will host the 2022 Health Innovation Summit in Washington, DC from October 31 - November 3, 2022.

"We want to connect the best and brightest to discuss how the health care industry is redefining quality and using innovative approaches to advance health care quality and equity," said NCQA President Margaret E.

"NCQA is bringing together stakeholders from across the industry - health plans, care delivery organizations, health IT solutions providers, consultants, and government - to learn from each other and tackle some of today's greatest challenges. Together, we can develop solutions to evolve health care quality, make care more equitable, and forge strategies that enable success in value-based care."
