AHRQ Quality
Indicators
Version 2023 of AHRQ’s Quality Indicators (QI) includes the beta release of a new module: The Emergency Department Prevention Quality Indicators (ED PQI).
The ED PQI include 5 measures:
PQE 01 Emergency Department (ED) Visits for non-Traumatic Dental Conditions
PQE 02 ED Visits for Chronic Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions
PQE 03 ED Visits for Acute Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions
PQE 04 ED Visits for Asthma
PQE 05 ED Visits for Back Pain
These QIs are area-level measures, like those included in the Prevention Quality Indicator (PQI) and Pediatric Quality Indicator (PDI) modules. While the measures in the PQI and PDI modules are rates of inpatient discharges, the PQEs are rates of ED visits.
AHRQ is seeking feedback on the new ED PQI module and invites users to beta test the software and provide their input.
AHRQ requests two components be considered when beta testing.
