Introduction

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed an array of health care decision making and research tools that can be used by program managers, researchers, and others at the Federal, State and local levels. One of these tools is the AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs), which use hospital administrative data to highlight potential quality concerns, identify areas that need further study and investigation, and track changes over time.  The AHRQ QIs are comprised of the Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQIs), Prevention Quality Indicators (PQIs), and the Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs).
