Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) catalogues the impact the Agency’s research and resources have on outcomes, quality, cost, use, and access. They demonstrate how AHRQ-funded research, tools, and products are actually being used by Federal and State Government; individual practices, clinics, and hospitals; insurance companies; professional associations; and schools of public health and medicine. Managed by the Office of Communications and Knowledge Transfer (OCKT), the program objective is to track the impact of AHRQ research and resources and explain that impact in ways policymakers and others can both understand and appreciate.
