New AHRQ Web tool shows samples of quality report cards
Quality Improvement Monitor, June 1, 2007
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a new Web tool demonstrating a variety of approaches for health quality report cards.
The new Health Care Report Card Compendium is a searchable directory of more than 200 samples of report cards produced by a variety of organizations, according to an AHRQ press release. 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 providers of care.
"Consumers and providers alike need better information if we're to get the highest quality and value from our healthcare system," Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said in the press release. "We're still learning how to gather and present that information in the best ways, and we can learn from one another. The new AHRQ Web site will help with that learning."
