Al principio, la marca comienza con un pequeño bulto o parche de color en la piel y puede crecer rápidamente. Su color depende de qué tan profundo esté el IH dentro de la piel.

For several decades, measures of health care quality have been embraced as tools for quality improvement, transparency, and accountability. As health care costs continue to rise, more stakeholders are calling for such measures to be used as part of value assessments, to understand how high health care expenditures, high out-of-pocket costs, and high local and Federal spending on health care can be shifted toward better care at better prices. One way to use measures this way is through all-payer claims databases (APCDs). The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded the APCD project to learn more about how APCDs are used and how their uses can be expanded. This report provides background on APCDs and the APCD project, uses of APCD-based measures, and evaluation of data from a few State APCDs.
