tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt




tt the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has developed a series of tools that
tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt




tt empower clients and assist providers in achieving desired outcomes, including client-reported
tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt




tt functional status indicators.Computer-assistedroboticsurgicaltechniques, electronichealth

tt home and workenvironment, support networks,gender, culture, and availability of health
