How to Browse - Disease/Condition

The Disease/Condition Browse feature of the National Quality Measures Clearinghouse™ (NQMC), sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is based on the U.S. National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) classification.

MeSH terms are arranged hierarchically with more specific concepts ("sub-concepts") arranged beneath broader concepts.

Browse Tips

You can view all measures linked to a disease/condition concept and its sub-concepts or continue to move through the browse list to find measures linked to a more specific topic.

The link labeled "List All" is designed to display a list of all measures linked to the concept you've chosen, as well as its sub-concepts. This function is similar to the "explode" or "expand" commands used in searching.

As you move through the browse list, you can always return to a previous level by clicking on the appropriate link. You can return to the broader concepts in the hierarchy by clicking on the term that is at the next highest level in the hierarchy. More specific sub-concepts are always indented under the broader concept.
