Where is the value in health care purchasing? Can hospital quality be
measured well enough to link payment to quality? As health care costs
continue to escalate and shortfalls remain in health care quality,
employers and other purchasers are pursuing “quality-based purchasing”
strategies. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is
sponsoring two interactive web conferences in October that will help
purchasers, plans and providers understand the evidence base for
quality-based purchasing and public reporting and increase their
understanding of an important tool set available to assist with
evaluations of health care quality. To register for these web conferences, please visit the conference website at www.academyhealth.org/ahrq/valuepurchasing and click on the Register link. Registration is free.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Data Initiative has kindly provided access to their guide designed to assist users in interpreting results from the Inpatient Quality Indicators.
This chartbook is the first comprehensive national report on the quality of pediatric care.
