It provides varied perspectives on the questions that the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s research should address in order to promote improvements in the quality, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of clinical practice. AHRQ is focused on making healthcare safer, more accessible, equitable and affordable for patients.
