The Agency for Healthcare Quality (AHRQ) is charged with enhancing the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of health services and access to those services. AHRQ is the premier federal agency for evidence-based practices to make healthcare safer.

In support of this mission, AHRQ regularly publishes Making Healthcare Safer, a compendium of the latest science behind patient safety practices. For the 2020 update, Making Healthcare Safer III, I worked with a team of researchers to systematically review thousands of articles for chapters on evidence-based recommendations.
