The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission is to produce evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.  AHRQ’s Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety (CQuIPS)  works to improve the quality and safety of our health care system through research and implementation of evidence. Specifically, the Center:

• Conducts and supports user-driven research on patient safety and health care quality measurement, reporting, and improvement.
