附录B: Summary of AHRQ Quality Indicators
Below is a summary of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Quality Indicators that are available in the areas of prevention, inpatient, patient safety, and pediatrics. As noted in the list below, most of the indicators are endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF). For a full description of AHRQ Quality Indicators, see qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/Modules.
In addition to the textual versions available on the AHRQ website, AHRQ Quality Indicators are a feature of free software tools distributed by AHRQ for organizations to use in a quality improvement effort.
