The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) recently released an interactive Web-based tool for states to use in measuring healthcare quality. The new State Snapshot Web tool is based on the 2005 National Healthcare Quality Report and the 2005 National Healthcare Disparities Report.
The tool provides information for each state, including:
- summary measures of the quality of types of care (e.g., prevention, acute, chronic) and settings of care (e.g., ambulatory, hospital, nursing home, and home health) for each state
- comparisons to regional and national performance relative to the region or nation
- performance meters that show performance relative to the region or nation
- data tables for each state's summary measures that show the NHQR detailed measures and numbers behind the performance meters
Click here to view the tool.
