Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a part of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, is the lead agency charged with
supporting research designed to improve the quality of healthcare,
reduce its cost, improve patient safety, decrease medical errors, and
broaden access to essential services. AHRQ sponsors and conducts
