AHRQ Launches Quality Measurement Clearinghouse

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has launched the National Quality Measures Clearinghouse (NQMC), a repository of the quality measurements and measure sets currently used by the Department of Health and Human Services for reporting data and determining payment.

Through this Web site, the public can access healthcare quality measures and apply them to their organizations when desigining their own policy and quality initiatives. The measures are updated on a weekly basis.
