چکیده
Pursuant to the National Quality Forum’s (NQF) Consensus Development Process, RPA and the organizations listed below formally appeal the Consensus Standards Approval Committee’s (CSAC) decision on Measure 2496, the Standardized Readmission Ratio for Dialysis Facilities.

The RPA has served as the lead nephrology organization for physician performance measure development.
