The Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ) research provides evidence-based
information on health care outcomes; quality; and
cost, use, and access. Information from AHRQ's research
helps people make more informed decisions and improve
the quality of health care services. AHRQ was formerly
known as the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research.

The National Space Biomedical Research
Institute (NSBRI) is a unique, non-profit scientific
partnership with NASA that engages academic, industrial
and government researchers and educators, and the
resources of the nation's leading biomedical research
institutions, in a team-based effort to reduce the
significant health risks associated with human space
travel. The Institute's goal-directed, cost-efficient
research and education programs strongly impact
both the safety of human space travel and the quality
of life on Earth.

In May 2000, senior officials of the
VA and NASA signed an agreement that would commit
the two agencies to create the Patient Safety Reporting
System (PSRS) to report: events or situations that
could have resulted in accident, injury, or illness,
but did not, either by chance or through timely
intervention (close-calls); unexpected serious occurrences
that involved a patient or employee's death, physical
injury, or psychological injury; lessens learned;
and safety ideas. The VA provided NASA with funding
for the initial development of the new system, which
automatically removes all personal names, facility
names and locations, and other potentially identifying
information before entering reports into its database.

The
Human Factors Research and Technology Division
of the NASA Ames Research Center advances human-centered
design and operations of complex aerospace systems
through analysis, experimentation and modeling of
human performance and human-automation interaction
to make dramatic improvements in safety, efficiency
and mission success.
