“Atlas Research was awarded a contract to support the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) with its project “Developing Strategies for the Harmonization of AHRQ Data Tools.” This new contract supplements efforts already underway to help improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care. Atlas experts will evaluate the potential for modernizing, harmonizing, and enhancing online statistical tools. Over the past decades AHRQ data sets and tools were developed independently from each other with a lack of consistent user interface or AHRQ branding.”
“The project involves analyzing current data tools so that they use a common or limited set of user interfaces, are clearly branded as AHRQ, are less costly to expand and maintain, and more easily transferred between vendors. Atlas will produce an assessment report that will include a description of current technical specifications for each tool, best practices used by other government agencies that present similar data on websites and an evaluation of available products and their applicability for AHRQ tools…” Read the full press release here.
