Description
The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with various data sources used by health care organizations to obtain quality data. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) creates an annual report, the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report, which assesses the performance of the U.S. health care system. This report identifies strengths and weaknesses of the health care system in addition to disparities for access to health care and quality of health care. The report is based on more than 250 measures of quality and disparities, and it covers a broad range of health care services and settings.
Access the "2017 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report Data Sources" through the AHRQ website, using the link provided. Select five data sources from this report and fill in the required components on the "Quality Data Sources Organizer."
