Evaluation of the AHRQ Healthcare Horizon Scanning System

The Horizon Scanning System is the first public horizon scanning system to focus on emerging health interventions and innovations within the U.S. health care system. Along with our partners at ECRI, Mathematica designed and implemented an evaluation of the system’s primary functions and examined ways to improve processes. Policymakers can use lessons learned from this evaluation to inform future efforts to scan for emerging health care innovations and technologies.
