About our
work at AHRQ
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) mission is to produce evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.

AHRQ creates tools and strategies to help health systems and frontline clinicians deliver high-quality, safe, high-value healthcare.
