AHRQ publishes body of government research on patient safety

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) recently published the government's first compendium of studies on efforts to improve patient safety and reduce medical errors. "Advances in Patient Safety: From Research to Implementation" is a four-volume set of 140 peer-reviewed articles on patient safety studies by AHRQ-funded researchers and other government-sponsored research. The set is available as a searchable CD-ROM; a limited number of printed sets also are available. For more information, go to www.ahrq.gov/news/press/pr2005/advancpr.htm.
