RAND Corporation was asked to conduct a one-year evaluation to assess user experiences with the AHRQ QIs and to identify users of other quality indicators, vendors of quality measurement products using the AHRQ QIs, and developers of quality indicators comparable to the AHRQ QIs.
The results of this study are intended to inform decisions by AHRQ on future priorities for the QI program. This report has three main objectives:
- Provide an overview of the market for the AHRQ QIs as well as indicators and quality measurement tools developed by other organizations that are similar to the AHRQ QIs or that incorporate the AHRQ QIs.
- Provide an overview of the range of ways in which the AHRQ QIs are used by various organizations.
- Assess the market demand for the AHRQ QIs, identify unmet needs, and discuss implications for future activities by AHRQ.
