Using the AHRQ Quality Indicators to Study the Quality of Children's Healthcare
Presenters:
Patrick Romano, University of California, Davis
Melanie Chansky, Battelle
Bruce Ellis, Battelle
NACHRI participant (TBD)
This session will provide child health services researchers, providers, and policy professionals with an overview of the AHRQ Quality Indicators (AHRQ QI) that apply to pediatric populations and suggestions on how to use AHRQ QI tools to study the quality of children's healthcare. The Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDI) are indicators of inpatient hospital quality and potentially avoidable hospitalizations based on readily available administrative data. The indicators include complications, mortality, and potentially avoidable hospitalization for children from neonates through eighteen years. This session will provide an overview, demonstration, and training on the tools that AHRQ makes available to researchers who may wish to use the QIs for studying pediatric populations. In addition, the session will review the methodologies used to risk adjust the neonatal and pediatric indicators; present information on recent validation efforts from the literature, clinical panels, and medical record review; and discuss the outcome from the submission of the indicators to the National Quality Forum consensus development process.
