The State Snapshots specifically include strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for improvement. The goal is to help state officials and their public- and private-sector partners better understand healthcare quality and disparities in their respective state. State-level information used to create the State Snapshots is based on data collected for AHRQ’s National Healthcare Quality Report.
