2015 NATIONAL HEALTH CARE QUALITY AND DISPARITIES REPORT

Each year since 2003, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has produced the National Healthcare Quality Report and the National Healthcare Disparities Report, which are mandated by Congress. Beginning with the 2014 reports, they are integrated into a single document. For the first time, the 2015 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report and National Quality Strategy Update is a joint effort addressing the progress made against the National Quality Strategy (NQS) priorities at the 5-year anniversary of the Strategy. 

The report can be accessed at http://www.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/wysiwyg/research/findings/nhqrdr/nhqdr15/2015nhqdr.pdf.
