The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has a new service to help keep consumers informed of the Agency's latest health care research findings, news, and information. It's Healthcare 411—an audio newscast that features synopses of the latest findings and information on current health care topics. Crozer-Keystone Health System is providing a link to this audio newscast as a service to the community.
Go to www.healthcare411.org to hear the newscasts through your computer or download them to a portable digital player such as an iPod®.
The first audio newscast was a Special Report with AHRQ Director, Dr. Carolyn Clancy, answering questions about health care quality. She discussed preventive care, medical errors, and what people can do to ensure they get quality health care.
Regular newscasts include short audio reports on a variety of AHRQ-supported research and always include an interview with one of the researchers.
