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. We accomplish our mission by focusing on our three core competencies.
AHRQ invests in research that generates evidence about how to deliver high-quality, safe, high-value healthcare.
AHRQ creates tools and strategies to help health systems and frontline clinicians deliver high-quality, safe, high-value healthcare.
AHRQ data and analysis help healthcare decision makers understand how the US healthcare system is working and where there are opportunities for improvement.
