The National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report

For the 12th year in a row, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has reported on health care quality and disparities. This year, the National Healthcare Quality Report and National Healthcare Disparities Report have been combined into a single report, the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report. These reports measure trends in effectiveness of care, patient safety, timelines of care, patient centeredness, and efficiency of care. The reports present, in chart form, the latest available findings on quality of and access to health care. Based on your weekly reading and personal experience, what is the purpose of reporting in healthcare? How do you make sure information found in reports are accurate?
