NQMBC International Participation Options
To support global quality improvement in breast care, the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers (NQMBC)offers two distinct participation pathways for international breast centers. These options differ significantly in verification, rigor, recognition, and credibility.
🔔NQMBC International Award Program
(Verified Quality & Award-Eligible Participation)
The International Award Program is designed for breast centers seeking formal quality validation, progressive recognition, and international credibility through the NQMBC framework.
To be eligible for an International NQMBC Quality Award, participating centers must meet enhanced verification and performance requirements, including:
- A Breast Cancer Database collecting demographic, clinical, pathologic, and other patient data on all breast cancer patients treated at that facility.
- Submission of aggregate quality data via secure API integration directly from the breast center’s database. No individual patient data is required.
- On-site reviews by a vetted observer to validate reported performance
- Documented ongoing quality care performance is maintained over time.
- Successive NQMBC award levels include Breast Center Participant, Quality Breast Center, and Quality Breast Center of Excellence.
- Compliance with these requirements may lead to the highest distinction: International Quality Breast Center of Excellence
This program reflects the highest level of international participation, offering recognized benchmarks, external validation, and structured quality advancement aligned with NQMBC standards.
Annual Participation and Maintenance Fee: $6,000 USD

🔔NQMBC International Participant Program
(Unverified Participation – No Awards)
To encourage global engagement and awareness of quality measurement, NQMBC also offers an International Participant category. The International Participant Program is designed for breast centers seeking internal recognition that quality care in a breast center is important. This may be confirmed by a one-sided participation in the NQMBC framework. There's no confirmation by NQMBC that this level of participation is verified.
Centers in this category:
- Are recognized only as participants in the NQMBC program
- Are not eligible to receive quality awards or certifications
- Have not undergone data verification or performance validation
- Receive no assessment of outcomes or quality benchmarks
- May claim participation, but not performance or recognition
This option is appropriate for centers that wish to engage with NQMBC educationally or inspirationally, without pursuing verified quality recognition.
Annual Participation Fee: $600 USD
