The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a crucial government agency responsible for conducting vital health care quality research, is facing an uncertain future as it becomes the latest target for mass layoffs under the Trump administration. This move has sparked concerns about the potential impact on healthcare outcomes and medical research. With a focus on improving patient care and healthcare systems, AHRQ's research plays a critical role in shaping the future of healthcare. As the Trump administration's budget cuts take hold, the healthcare sector is bracing for the potential consequences of reduced funding for health care quality research, healthcare policy, and medical innovation.
