<h2>Tools for Quality Improvement</h2>

<a name="EPC" id="EPC"></a>
|
|
<h3>Evidence-based Practice Centers</h3>
|
|
<p>Under this program, 13 5-year contracts have been awarded by AHRQ to institutions in the United States and Canada to serve as <a href="https://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/evidence-based-reports/centers/index.html">Evidence-based Practice Centers</a> (EPCs).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The EPCs review all relevant scientific literature on assigned clinical care topics and produce evidence reports and technology assessments, conduct research on methodologies and the effectiveness of their implementation, and participate in technical assistance activities. Public and private sector organizations may use the reports and assessments as the basis for their own clinical guidelines and other QI activities.</p>
|
|

<h3>Child Health Toolbox</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The AHRQ-developed Web-based <a href="https://www.ahrq.gov/chtoolbx/">Child Health Toolbox</a> provides concepts, tips, and tools for evaluating quality of health care in Medicaid, the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), Title V, and other health care service programs for children. The toolbox is especially designed to be useful to busy State policymakers and others concerned about quality of care.</p>

<h3>Consumer Assessment of Health Plans (CAHPS®)</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="http://www.cahps.ahrq.gov/">CAHPS®</a> comprises a family of surveys that measure patients' experiences of health care, a critical dimension of quality. CAHPS® was developed by a consortium of researchers from Harvard, RAND, and the Research Triangle Institute, led by AHRQ staff. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In 2002, the National Committee on Quality Assurance, the Nation's major accreditor of managed care plans, introduced a revised, expanded CAHPS® for children into its HEDIS measurement set. The new CAHPS® for children allows plans and consumers to assess quality for children with chronic illnesses and disabilities separately from quality of care for other children.</p>

|
|

<p>Visit <a href="http://www.cahps-sun.org">http://www.cahps-sun.org</a> or call 1-800-492-9261, for the survey, help with survey implementation and reporting of results, and for information on the National CAHPS® Benchmarking Database (NCBD).</p>

<h3>Kids' Inpatient Database</h3>
|
|
<p>AHRQ has released its year 2000 Kids' Inpatient Database (KID), which enables researchers, policymakers, and others to identify, track, and analyze national trends in children's health care (use, access, charges, quality, and outcomes). The 2000 KID contains data from approximately 1.9 million hospital discharges of children 20 years of age and younger in 27 States. KID is part of HCUP, a Federal-State-industry partnership, which includes data organizations and participating States.</p>

<h3>AHRQ Quality Indicators</h3>
|
|
<p>The AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) are measures of health care quality that make use of readily available hospital inpatient administrative data. Software and a user guide are now available to help users apply the QIs to their own data. AHRQ recently released a subset of the AHRQ QIs, the Prevention QIs, which include 3 indicators specific to children, and others that can be analyzed with children's hospital discharge data.</p>
