MONAHRQ 4.0.1 can import and report sets of pre-calculated quality measures.

AHRQ Quality Indicators (QI): You can use the AHRQ Quality Indicators software for SAS or Windows to calculate the AHRQ QI directly from inpatient discharge data. Afterwards, you can optionally calculate estimated costs for area-level AHRQ QI -- including potentially avoidable hospital stays -- using the Area QI Cost Calculator for SAS or Windows. If you use the AHRQ Quality Indicators software for SAS, reformat the measure results for MONAHRQ using these SAS formatting utilities. If you have used the AHRQ Quality Indicators software for Windows, no additional formatting is needed.

CMS Hospital Compare measures: Visit the Data page to download CMS Hospital Compare quality measures that are formatted to use with MONAHRQ. You should download this data here, not from the Hospital Compare website. It is the same data, reformatted to use in MONAHRQ. Updated files are available approximately quarterly. If you would like an older version of the Hospital Compare data, please visit the Archive page or contact MONAHRQ Technical Support.
