The AHRQ Quality Indicators™ Toolkit is a free resource designed to guide hospitals through the process of using the AHRQ Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQIs) and Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) to improve care. For a thorough introduction to the Toolkit, hospitals and other organizations can now download a video that describes the Toolkit and discusses the use of several key tools.  This 45-minute video, which is drawn from a Webinar presented in February 2012, is an easy way to introduce the Toolkit to quality improvement teams and other interested staff.
