The mission of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is to improve the quality and safety of American’s health care system. In addition to investing in research to make health care safer and improve quality, this Federal agency also creates resources that enable health care providers to put research results into practice. Towards its effort in reducing the spread of infections and antibiotic resistance, AHRQ has created a number of toolkits. Below is a list of available toolkits:
