State Snapshots Instructional Web Conference

You're invited to attend a State Snapshots instructional Web conference July 27, 2012, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET. The session will be moderated by Dr. Ernest Moy, AHRQ's National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports team leader.
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's newly published 2011 State Snapshots offer valuable insights on the level of health care quality and disparities in every State and the District of Columbia. You'll find State-level performance summaries on treating cancer, diabetes, maternal and child disorders, heart disease, and other illnesses that affect quality of life, workforce productivity, and insurance costs.
As an interactive Web-based tool at http://statesnapshots.ahrq.gov, State Snapshots is designed to provide State officials and health care leaders with health care quality and disparities data so they can take steps to address gaps in quality care and access to services. For easy reference, the data are categorized by health condition, level of care, treatment setting, race and income, and health insurance status.
