Impact Case Studies and Knowledge Transfer Case Studies AHRQ's Impact Case Studies Program catalogues the impact the Agency's research and resources have on outcomes, quality, cost, use, and access. Managed by the Office of Communications and Knowledge Transfer (OCKT), the program objective is to track the impact of AHRQ research and resources and explain that impact in ways policymakers and others can both understand and appreciate. This use of an AHRQ product generally results in one of the following:Change in a clinical practice.Change in a policy.Change in patient outcomes.Knowledge Transfer Case Studies (identified by the initials "KT") describe results of activities under AHRQ's Knowledge Transfer and Implementation contract program, which is intended to accelerate the dissemination and implementation of AHRQ's evidence-based products, tools, and research findings into the health care system.AHRQ's impact case studies are categorized by the Agency's research portfolios:Comparative EffectivenessThe mission of the comparative effectiveness portfolio is to provide health care decisionmakers—including patients, clinicians, purchasers, and policymakers—with up-to-date, evidence-based information about their treatment options to make informed health care decisions.Cross-Agency CommunicationsThe mission of the comparative effectiveness portfolio is to provide health care decisionmakers—including patients, clinicians, purchasers, and policymakers—with up-to-date, evidence-based information about their treatment options to make informed health care decisions.Health Information TechnologyResearch supported by the portfolio aims to develop evidence and inform policy and practice on how health IT can improve the quality of American health care.Patient SafetyThis portfolio aims to identify risks and hazards that lead to medical errors and find ways to prevent patient injury associated with delivery of health care.Prevention/Care ManagementThe mission of the prevention and care management portfolio is to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of the delivery of evidence-based preventive services and chronic care management in ambulatory care settings.ValueThe goal of the value portfolio is to help assure that consumers and patients are served by health care organizations that reduce unnecessary costs (waste) while maintaining or improving quality.
