The American Health Quality Association (AHQA) represents the national network of Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) that work with hospitals, medical practices, health plans, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, and employers to encourage the spread of best clinical practices and improve systems of care delivery.
AHQA released a statement to contest the methodology and relevance of findings presented in a JAMA article, “Do QIOs Improve the Quality of Hospital Care for Medicare Beneficiaries,” written by Claire Snyder and Gerard Anderson of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
