AHRQ Quality Indicators SoftwareThe Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) provides free software for organizations to apply the AHRQ Quality Indicators (QIs) to their own data to assist quality improvement efforts in acute care hospital settings.
Both versions include all of the AHRQ QI modules: Prevention Quality Indicators, Patient Safety Indicators, Inpatient Quality Indicators , and the Pediatric Quality Indicators. Both versions are able to compute observed rates for all indicators and both versions allow the comparison of observed rates to expected rates that are specific to each population and case mix. QI SAS SoftwareThe QI SAS modules are programs that run in the SAS® statistical software package. To use these modules, users must have access to SAS® which may be purchased from The SAS Institute. All necessary components for running the software are included in the zip file, but users must provide a hospital discharge data file in the specified format. The software documentation describes the procedures for implementing the AHRQ QIs and highlights features of the analytic approach of particular interest to users. The documentation and user guide are not included in the software zip file and should be downloaded separately.
QI Windows SoftwareThe QI Windows Application is easy to use with step-by-step instructions on loading your data and verifying that the data is in the format required. Users can look at the results for individual cases, the organization as a whole, or for subgroups based on patient demographics. The AHRQ QI Windows Application may be installed on platforms that meet the following minimum requirements.
SoftwareThe AHRQ QI Windows Application does not require the purchase of any 3rd party statistical software package. However, in order to install and run the application, users must have Microsoft .NET® installed, and they must have an available Microsoft SQL Server® database. Public use versions of both can be downloaded from this page.
Please read the Installation Guide before downloading the following software.
SQL Server and .NET are provided free of charge by Microsoft. For more information please see the following links on the Microsoft website: (this will take you away from the AHRQ website)
