The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has published a series of three guides to teach best practices to those staff people at hospitals in charge of putting together reports for the public. The guides are meant to help users discover how to deliver clear information about hospital quality and performance to the public, which is often unfamiliar with healthcare terminology.
