AHRQ Quality Indicators

The AHRQ Quality Indicators are a set of standards developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to assess the quality of healthcare services. They focus on different aspects of patient care, such as safety, effectiveness, and patient satisfaction. By analyzing data from hospitals and healthcare providers, these indicators help identify areas for improvement, monitor performance over time, and compare quality across different institutions. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance patient care and outcomes by providing a clear framework for evaluating healthcare practices.
