As the United States devotes extensive resources to health care,
evaluating how successfully the U.S. system delivers high-quality,
high-value care in an equitable manner is essential. At the request
of Congress, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
annually produces the National Healthcare Quality Report (NHQR) and
the National Healthcare Disparities Report (NHDR). The reports have
revealed areas in which health care performance has improved over
time, but they also have identified major shortcomings. After five
years of producing the NHQR and NHDR, AHRQ asked the IOM for
guidance on how to improve the next generation of reports. The IOM
concludes that the NHQR and NHDR can be improved in ways that would
make them more influential in promoting change in the health care
system. In addition to being sources of data on past trends, the
national healthcare reports can provide more detailed insights into
current performance, establish the value of closing gaps in quality
and equity, and project the time required to bridge those gaps at
the current pace of improvement. Table of Contents Front Matter
