Quality Data Source Organizer

Instructions attached

The purpose of this assignment is to become familiar with various data sources used by health care organizations to obtain quality data. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) creates an annual report, the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report, which assesses the performance of the U.S. health care system. This report identifies strengths and weaknesses of the health care system in addition to disparities for access to health care and quality of health care. The report is based on more than 250 measures of quality and disparities, and it covers a broad range of health care services and settings.

Access the most current report using the “National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports” AHRQ website

https://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqdr17/index.html

, provided in the topic Resources. Select five data sources from this report and fill in the required components on the “Quality Data Sources Organizer.”

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines.

This assignment uses a rubric please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
