A new internet-based tool demonstrating different approaches for health quality report cards was unveiled May 30 by the Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
The Health Care Report Card Compendium is a searchable directory of more than 200 samples of report cards produced by a variety of organizations. The samples show formats and approaches for providing comparative information on the quality of health plans, hospitals, medical groups, individual physicians, nursing homes, and other care providers.
The AHRQ is providing the Web tool as a service to report developers, researchers, and other users.
