What is the purpose of the National Health Quality Report (NHQDR)?

A. Document whether health care quality is stable, improving, or declining over time: The NHQDR, developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), tracks and reports trends in the quality of health care delivery in the U.S. over time. B. Report on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's goals for the year: This option refers more to an internal strategic or operational plan, not the NHQDR. C. Describe the yearly activities of the agency: This sounds like an annual report summary, not the quality-focused NHQDR. D. Ensure national quality of services: The NHQDR monitors and reports on quality but does not ensure it; that responsibility lies with policy and practice enforcers.
