Register Now: August 5 Webinar Highlights New MONAHRQ Software That Allows Development of Consumer Web Pages

AHRQ is hosting a webinar August 5 from 4 to 5 p.m. ET to provide an overview of updated MONAHRQ software that allows organizations to create Web pages for consumers to access comparative health care quality information about hospitals and nursing homes, and profile pages for doctors. The software, available from AHRQ at no cost, is designed for use by hospitals, hospital systems, hospital associations, nursing homes, public health departments, business and community alliances, and other organizations involved in health care quality improvement. MONAHRQ 6.0-Build 2, which will be available for download from theAHRQ website August 3, allows users to create new consumer websites with fresh layouts and improved navigation. Users looking for hospital information, for example, may search by hospital location, health condition (such as childbirth of heart failure) or health topic (such as nursing care or patient survey results). One notable new feature is a side-by-side comparison of cost and quality information for hip replacements. Registration is open.
