  • 2025-03752 — Request for Information Regarding Diagnostic Excellence Measurement; Reopening of Comment Period
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 11608
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is seeking public comments on developing measures for diagnostic excellence. This initiative aims to improve the diagnostic process in healthcare settings by using data from administrative sources or electronic health records. AHRQ is particularly interested in measures that could enhance patient safety, address diagnostic errors, and provide useful benchmarks for national surveillance. They welcome feedback on existing and potential measures that can be applied across various health systems and contribute to reducing health disparities.

    Simple Explanation

    The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is asking people to share ideas on how to better measure doctors' skills in figuring out what's wrong with patients, using hospital records and computer data. They want to make sure everyone gets good care, but they haven't said how they'll pay for this or how they'll make sure everyone's voice is heard equally.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is inviting the public and other federal agencies to comment on a proposed data collection project under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This project, known as the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), aims to understand how people use various healthcare services, including visits to doctor's offices and community health centers. The survey collects data to study healthcare performance, aging population care, health insurance changes, new medical technology, and the use of electronic health records. The 2021-2023 survey plans to include around 6,000 office-based physicians and a growing number of community health centers, using new electronic data collection methods.

    Simple Explanation

    The CDC wants people to tell them what they think about a survey project that checks how doctors' offices and health centers are used to take care of people, and they're trying out new ways to gather this information. However, some parts of the plan, like costs and how they will keep people's information safe, aren't super clear yet.
