To help advance its goal of improving health care for all Americans, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) held its first-ever annual conference September 26-28, 2007, in Bethesda, MD. This conference was designed to showcase the best of the Agency's research and provide examples of how that research is being implemented at all levels in health care delivery.
The meeting featured presentations in six major themes plus a special focus on HHS's Value-driven Health Care Initiative. This initiative featured content geared specifically toward individuals and organizations that are interested in becoming Value Exchanges.
