AHRQ (www.ahrq.gov) is the lead federal agency charged with improving the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans. It is one of 12 agencies within the HHS. AHRQ supports research that helps people make more informed decisions and improves the quality of health care services. It is committed to improving care safety and quality, and does this through successful partnerships and the development of knowledge and tools needed for long‐term improvement. AHRQ’s research goals include measurable improvements in health care, with a focus on improved quality of life, improved patient safety and outcomes, and high‐value care for each dollar spent. AHRQ’s Patient Safety Network (PSNet) highlights journal publications, books, and tools related to patient safety. It had developed tool kits and, until funding from Congress was cut, hosted national clearinghouse services related to care guidelines and quality measures.
