The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has sets of toolkits designed to help health care institutions and clinicians provide—and consumers receive—safe, quality health care at various points in the health care process—in the hospital, in the emergency department, in the intensive care unit, in the pharmacy, and when being discharged from one setting to another.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has sets of toolkits designed to help health care institutions and clinicians provide—and consumers receive—safe, quality health care at various points in the health care process—in the hospital, in the emergency department, in the intensive care unit, in the pharmacy, and when being discharged from one setting to another.

The 17 toolkits were produced under AHRQ’s Partnerships in Implementing Patient Safety (PIPS) grant program and include multidisciplinary evidence-based tools, including training materials, medication guides and checklists, that are easily adapted to other institutions and care settings.
