The Department of Health and Senior Services released its second report on Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQIs) in August 2007. This report gives health professionals, policymakers and consumers one more tool they can use in making important health care decisions. The report includes background information on the AHRQ QI tools, how they are used to compare hospital performance, guides on interpreting IQI estimates, and definitions of the 32 inpatient quality indicators (in the Appendix).
Releasing the report is consistent with the Department’s effort in public reporting of hospital quality performance as an important tool in advancing health care quality improvement.
