The 2015 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report and 5th Anniversary Update on the National Quality Strategy from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality shows the progress and opportunities for improving health care quality and reducing health care disparities. Chartbooks on specific topics, such as access to care, patient safety, and health living, provide more detailed information. In addition, downloadable slides are available for presentations.
The National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report has been combined with the annual progress report on the National Quality Strategy. The NQS is backed by the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report data. Integration of these two efforts within AHRQ supports the development of this more comprehensive report on the success of efforts to achieve better health and health care and reduce disparities.
