The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has awarded the Health Research & Educational Trust (HRET) a $1.8-million contract to assist hospitals as they implement the agency's quality and safety resources, AHA News Now reports. Slated to begin June 1, the 20-month project will require HRET to develop innovative methods to encourage hospitals, health systems and policy-makers to more broadly adopt AHRQ's various toolkits and educational resources. According to a release, HRET will collaborate with American Hospital Association affiliates, state hospital associations, quality improvement organizations and an advisory panel of experts to provide free assistance to participants (AHA News Now, 5/28/09; HRET release, 5/28/09).
