Call for AHRQ Impact Case Studies
Do you use any of AHRQ’s tools and resources, such as the Practice Facilitation Training Modules? AHRQ is looking for new Impact Case Studies, which tell stories about how AHRQ’s tools and resources are being used by organizations nationwide to improve care and reduce costs.
In addition to being posted online and promoted via our various communications channels, Impact Case Studies are shared with members of Congress and used in budget documents, fact sheets, and speeches by the AHRQ Director and senior leaders to demonstrate AHRQ’s impact on health care.
Check out these real-world examples of the impact AHRQ's tools have had in a variety of facilities across the nation:
How rural primary care practices in New Mexico have expanded on an AHRQ initiative to provide online training to prescribe proven medication-assisted treatment to patients with opioid use disorder (MAT for OUD, or MOUD).

The Social Security Administration has been overpaying billions of dollars to people, many on disability — then demanding the money back, even if the government made the mistake, an investigation by KFF Health News and Cox Media Group revealed. The reporting has triggered a congressional hearing, additional Senate oversight of the agency, an apology from the head of the SSA to Congress, and an ongoing internal policy review. In early 2024, the head of Social Security announced sweeping policy changes to address concerns about overpayments.
