HCUP Outstanding Article of the Year Awards
Each year, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and AcademyHealth will recognize articles published in peer-reviewed journals in the previous year using HCUP databases to explore and address health care research topics and issues. Work honored will demonstrate how HCUP has contributed to these areas.
The call for nominations usually occurs in February and March each calendar year. Announcements are posted on the HCUP-US web site. Since the inception of this Award in 2010, when outstanding articles from 2009 were selected, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has recognized exceptional research conducted using the HCUP databases in the clinical and health policy arenas. This research continues to enhance the public conversation about health care costs, outcomes, and trends. Over the years, the Award has grown into a distinguished honor among health services researchers with a variety of clinical insights, economic interests, and policy backgrounds. AHRQ is proud of the important work being done with HCUP data, and is excited to see what researchers nominate for each year's award. Contents:
