AHRQ SEEKING SUBMISSIONS FOR NEW HEALTH CARE INNOVATIONS EXCHANGE website
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Seeks Submissions For New Health Care Innovations Exchange website www.innovations.ahrq.gov.
AHRQ is seeking submissions for its new Health Care Innovations Exchange, a dual-component initiative that is designed to support health care professionals in sharing and adopting innovations that improve health care quality.
The two components are a searchable, Web-based national repository of health service innovations and dynamic communities of learning.
Through the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange website, physicians, nurses, and other health professionals and providers will be able to obtain detailed profiles of innovative activities and tools, and have opportunities to exchange successes, failures, stories and lessons learned with innovators and fellow adopters. Users of this site will also have access to educational materials on how to innovate.
Innovations described in the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange will represent varying degrees of novelty and scientific rigor and cover many clinical disciplines and care settings in both the public and private sector.
The dynamic communities of learning will allow for collaboration and cross-disciplinary interactions that will heighten understanding of the relevance of an innovation to a potential adopteršs organizational contexts and expand on the effort needed to replicate uptake of the innovation. The goal is to accelerate change and transformation in real-world health care.
To learn more about how to submit innovations, visit the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange website at www.innovations.ahrq.gov.
