AHRQ releases “state snapshot” quality Web site
I saw this Wall Street Journal Health Blog posting about a resource from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) that I thought readers of this blog might be interested in: State Snapshots. The AHRQ has culled data based on the 2008 National Healthcare Quality Report and broken that data down into state-specific information. Those interested in seeing how their own states stack up against the rest of the states in the country can do so by clicking here and finding specific states via the map of the country.
How does your state match up? Was it what you expected to see?
