AHRQ's Audio Series on Quality

AHRQ has posted two new audio special reports as part of the Healthcare411 series, called "Quality 101."

These are interviews with AHRQ Director Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D., on such topics as "Understanding Health Care Quality," "Questions to Ask Before Surgery," and "How to Get the Most out of a Visit with Your Health Care Professional."

The latest are "Next Steps After Diagnosis," based on the consumer booklet on this topic, and "What is Patient Safety," produced for Patient Safety Awareness Week held early in March.

• "Next Steps After Diagnosis"
• "What is Patient Safety".

Each audio is about 15 minutes long. Transcripts also are also available from the site.
