AHRQ created the Comparative Health System Performance Initiative to study how health care delivery systems promote evidence-based practices in delivering care.
CHSP Data Resources
Reports for the CHSP include resources for better understanding health systems, new findings, data products, and publications.
The first step to studying health systems is to develop a definition of what a healthcare system is. As the partners of the initiative continue their research, the definition of a healthcare system is expected to evolve over time.
