The Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awarded a multiple award indefinite delivery contract vehicle called Accelerating Change and Transformation in Organizations and Networks IV (ACTION IV) to the National Opinion Research Center (NORC), a non-profit research organization. Under this $5 million IDV, AHRQ has issued several delivery orders to NORC for a range of projects.
One $6.6 million delivery order tasks NORC with developing and implementing the AHRQ Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) for Telemedicine for Diagnostic Accuracy and Antibiotic Stewardship. Another $14.5 million delivery order has NORC leading the CDS Innovation Collaborative to support AHRQ in enhancing its Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund projects. NORC has also received orders worth $6.3 million to coordinate AHRQ's National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network and $3.8 million to develop physician and social determinants of health research databases. These delivery orders leverage NORC's expertise in survey research, data collection, and analysis to support AHRQ's mission of producing evidence to improve healthcare quality, safety, and affordability.
