2022 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report: We Still Have Much Work to Do AHRQ's 2022 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report (NHQDR), which provides an annual portrait of healthcare in the United States, is the subject of a new blog post by Agency Director Robert Otto Valdez, Ph.D., M.H.S.A. This year's NHQDR highlights important advances in healthcare, such as declines in mortality from HIV/AIDS and breast cancer. But it also identifies troubling trends, including a national decline in life expectancy—a trend most notable among racial and ethnic minorities—as well as shortages of healthcare workers and the high number of rural hospital closures. This year's NHQDR also provides a deep dive into data on four special emphasis topics that are priorities for the Biden-Harris administration: maternal health, child and adolescent mental health, substance abuse disorders, and oral health. | |
