The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Quality Indicators (QIs) are measures of health care quality that make use of readily available hospital inpatient administrative data.- The AHRQ QIs consist of four modules measuring various aspects of quality:
. Prevention QIs identify hospital admissions that evidence suggests could have been avoided, at least in part, through high-quality outpatient care. Download PQI Module.
. Inpatient QIs reflect quality of care inside hospitals including inpatient mortality for medical conditions and surgical procedures. Download IQI Module.
. Patient Safety Indicators also reflect quality of care inside hospitals, but focus on potentially avoidable complications and iatrogenic events. Download PSI Module.
. Pediatric QIs both reflect quality of care inside hospitals and identify potentially avoidable hospitalizations among children. Download PedQI Module.
- Software and user guides for all four modules are available to assist users in applying the Quality Indicators to their own data.
