February 21, 2003 - The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) Feb. 20 announced the launch of its Web-based
National Quality
Measures Clearinghouse (NQMC). The NQMC will contain the
most current evidence-based quality measures and measure sets
available to evaluate and improve the quality of health care.
The site is designed as a resource for physicians, hospitals,
health plans, and others who may be interested in quality
measures, and can be searched by measures that target a particular
disease or condition, treatment, age range, gender, vulnerable
population, or setting of care.
Measures to be considered for inclusion in the NQMC can be
submitted on an ongoing basis but must meet a set of published
criteria.
Organizations interested in contributing quality measures
should contact NQMC at info@qualitymeasures.ahrq.gov.
