MONAHRQ Version 2.0.2 - Now Available (10/7/11)

• Provides correct zip code-based hospital search for zip codes that begin with a zero. Previously, the zip code-based hospital search function did not recognize zip codes beginning with a zero as valid.

• Corrects a number of minor inconsistencies in methodology documentation.

MONAHRQ Version 2.0.1 - Now Available (9/19/11)

• Corrects the bar chart ordering. Bar charts are now consistently ordered from best to worst. Previously, in some browser versions, some bar charts were labeled as if ordered from best to worst but appeared ordered from highest value to lowest value.



• Corrects the interpretation of AHRQ Quality Indicator IQI 34, Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) Rate All. IQI 34 is now rated to indicate that higher measure results are better. Previously, it was rated to indicate that lower measure results are better.



• Eliminates errors from selecting DRGs for which there is no data. Previously, selecting DRGs Hospital Utilization path for which there is no data produced an error page.



• Improves hospital selection in the Hospital Utilization path. Now, only hospitals with utilization data can be selected in the Hospital Utilization path. Previously, the "By ZIP Code" selection option allowed selection of all hospitals.
