Ambulatory Care Patient Safety Proactive Risk Assessment (P20): -The purpose of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality s (AHRQ) Ambulatory Safety and Quality (ASQ) program is to improve the safety and quality of ambulatory health care in the United States. The program s components, with the exception of the announcement on risk assessment, have an emphasis on the role of health information technology (health IT). Emerging information about ambulatory care suggests that the patient safety crisis in hospitals is only the tip of the iceberg. The scope of ambulatory care has increased over the past decade, as the volume and complexity of interventions has burgeoned. Safe, high quality ambulatory care requires complex information management and coordination across multiple settings, especially for patients with chronic illness(es). The opportunity to turn the potential of health IT towards improving safety and quality in the ambulatory care setting, especially within care transitions, will form the cornerstone of this proposed Ambulatory Safety and Quality (ASQ) Program. -The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support proactive risk assessments and to model risks and known hazards that threaten patient safety in ambulatory care settings and in transitions of care. The assessments and modeling will lead to the identification of preventable patient injuries/harm and inform the development and deployment of intervention strategies that eliminate, mitigate, or minimize those harms and threats in ambulatory care settings. For the purposes of this FOA, ambulatory care settings are defined as non-acute, non-residential settings including practitioner offices, clinics, outpatient departments of hospitals, large or small group practices, community health centers, emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic imaging centers, dialysis centers, home care, mental health centers, occupational health centers, and school health facilities. The use of established risk assessment and analytic approaches, such as root cause analysis (RCA), process mapping, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), and sociotechnical probabilistic risk assessment (STPRA) are strongly encouraged (See ref. 1-4) . Once specific target risks are identified, intervention strategies can be identified or designed using a risk-informed approach to design of intervention strategies. AHRQ is particularly interested in areas of medication safety as well as transitions between ambulatory care settings or transitions to and from ambulatory care.
