SUMMARY: To support its objective of
accelerating the diffusion and adoption
of innovative health care delivery
changes, the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) recently
launched version 1.0 of the AHRQ
Health Care Innovations Exchange
(HCIE) Web site, https://
www.innovations.ahrq.gov. The HCIE is
a new initiative designed to support
health care professionals in sharing and
adopting innovations that improve
health care quality. Version 1.0 of the
Web site is focused on stimulating
creativity and innovation and will serve
as a virtual place to which innovators
will be encouraged to submit their
innovations and experiences from
which potential adopters can begin
learning about the nuances of
implementation.
In Spring 2008, AHRQ will deploy
version 2.0 of its Health Care
Innovations Exchange site making
hundreds of profiles of health care
service innovations of varying degrees
of novelty and scientific rigor accessible
to the public. Version 2.0 will also offer
expert commentary; stories; tools;
lessons learned; ‘‘change packages’’—
sets of innovations implemented
simultaneously; expanded content on
implementation; and opportunities to
learn and network.
To build the database of innovations
profiles, AHRQ invites submissions of
