Engage With AHRQ at the 2018 Health Datapalooza Conference
AHRQ is pleased once again to participate in AcademyHealth's annual Health Datapalooza, the premier health data conference of the year! The 2018 Health Datapalooza will bring together health data experts and organizations from across the country to discuss how we can all use data to pioneer innovations that drive health policy and practice.Finding new ways to learn from data to improve health care for all Americans is an important goal for AHRQ. But we can't work on this topic in a vacuum. We need to hear from folks on the local level about the challenges they are facing. We also want to learn about new and widening uses of data from the many partners who share our vision, including State and local policymakers, public health advocates, health systems leaders, data organizations, and health services researchers.
That's why I am excited to be part of a special listening session AHRQ is holding on this topic the day before Datapalooza. The free session, "AHRQ Data Competencies to Support Decision Makers: What Do You Need To Make Decisions at the State and Local Levels to Improve Health Care? 
", which will take place on April 25, from 1 to 5 p.m., in Washington, D.C. It's a chance to learn more about AHRQ's data competencies and to co-create ideas together about challenges and opportunities, including ways we can provide better data, research, tools, and resources to help local decision makers provided better health care for their communities.
