A research team at CHP/PCOR is leading the development and refinement of Quality Indicators from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, in collaboration with investigators from UC-Davis and the Battelle Memorial Institute. The project team regularly updates each of the component modules of the Quality Indicators: the Prevention Quality Indicators, Inpatient Quality Indicators, and Patient Safety Indicators. The team is currently developing a Pediatric Quality Indicators module, which like the other modules is based on hospital administrative data. The team also responds to requests for indicator interpretation from users of the Quality Indicators, including hospitals, state health departments, hospital associations and data organizations, health plans, national quality organizations, federal agencies, and researchers.
The Quality Indicators project, as a whole, aims to demonstrate and increase the value of the Quality Indicators; help users learn from each other's experience in implementing them; and increase the use of administrative data for quality improvement.
