No. 03-R203 Revision 1 (May 28 , 2003)  \nCitation  \nAHRQ Quality Indicators – Guide to Patient Safety Indicators. Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2003. AHRQ Pub.03-R203  \nPreface  \nIn health care as in other arenas, that which cannot be measured is difficult to improve. Providers, consumers, policy makers, and others seeking to improve the quality of health care need accessible, reliable indicators of quality that they can use to flag potential problems or successes; follow trends overtime; and identify disparities across regions, communities, and providers. As noted in a 2001 Institute of Medicine study, Envisioning the National Health Care Quality Report, it is important that such measures cover not just acute care but multiple dimensions of care: staying healthy, getting better, living with illness or disability, and coping with the end of life.  \nThe Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Quality Indicators (QIs) are one Agency response to this need for multidimensional, accessible quality indicators. They include a family of measures that providers, policy makers, and researchers can use with inpatient data to identify apparent variations in the quality of inpatient or outpatient care. AHRQ‘s Evidence-Based Practice Center (EPC) atthe University of California and Stanford University adapted, expanded, and refined these indicators based on the original Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Quality Indicators developed in the early 1990s.  \nThe new AHRQ QIs are organized into three modules, which are being published as a series: Prevention Quality Indicators , Inpatient Quality Indicators , and Patient Safety Indicators. All three modules are available and can be downloaded from AHRQ‘s Web site at [http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/](http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/. The QIs were)[. The QIs were](http://www.qualityindicators.ahrq.gov/. The QIs were) developed as an accessible and low-cost screening tool to help organizations identify potential problems in quality of care and target promising areas for indepth review.  \nThis third module focuses on potentially preventable complications and iatrogenic events for patients treated in hospitals. The Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) are measures that screen for adverse events that patients experience as a result of exposure to the health care system; these events are likely amenable to prevention by changes at the system or provider level. The PSIs include 20 hospital-level and 6 area level indicators.  \nFull technical information on the first two modules can be found in Evidence Report for Refinement ofthe HCUP Quality Indicators , prepared by the UCSF-Stanford EPC. It can be accessed at AHRQ‘s Web site. The technical report for the third module, entitled Evidence Report for Measures of Patient Safety Based on Hospital Administrative Data―The Patient Safety Indicators , is also available on AHRQ‘s Web site.  \nImproving the quality of inpatient hospital services is a critical part of efforts to provide high quality health care in the United States. This guide is intended to facilitate such efforts. As always, we would appreciate hearing from those who use our measures and tools so that we can identify how they are used, how they can be refined, and how we can measure and improve the quality of the tools themselves.  \nIrene Fraser, Ph.
