The Ambulatory Care Quality Alliance (AQA) is a large voluntary multi-stakeholder collaborative of physicians and other clinicians, consumers, purchasers, health plans, and others who strive to meet its responsibilities in an effective, efficient, public and transparent manner. The mission of the AQA is to improve patient safety, health care quality and value in all settings through a collaborative process in which key stakeholders agree on and promote strategies to:

• Implement performance measurement at the physician and other clinician or group level;
• Collect and aggregate data in the most appropriate way; and
• Report meaningful information to consumers, physicians and other clinicians, and other stakeholders to inform decision-making and improve outcomes.

AQA's mission and goals focus on key areas that can help identify quality gaps, control skyrocketing cost trends, reduce confusion over redundant measures and alleviate administrative burdens in the marketplace.
