Launched in 2008, the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange offers health care professionals and researchers opportunities for sharing, learning about, and adopting evidence-based innovations and tools suitable for health care settings and patient populations.
Through the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange Web site[1], professionals can:

- Browse 1,525 searchable QualityTools that describe resources to help assess, measure, promote, and improve health care quality;[2]
- Download articles and an adoption guide that provide support for implementing innovations;[3]

The AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange offers opportunities for participants to learn from and share with innovators and other experts through interactive webinars and a web-based discussion series. The webinars feature issues in health care, such as medical information exchanges, using data for quality improvement, and learning from attempts. The web-based discussion series "Chats on Change" features health care topics such as the role of clinical nurse leaders as quality champions and effective provider-patient email.[5]
Two groups of experts ensure that the information and services on the AHRQ Health Care Innovations Exchange meets its users' needs.
