Advisory Panel
The AQI Advisory Panel was created in August 2009 and consists of over 40 representatives from academia, government, industry, the ASA and private practice. The Panel was formed to help the AQI achieve its vision of becoming the primary source of information for quality improvement in the clinical practice of anesthesiology. The Panel communicates through a Web portal and via email in an ongoing discussion of AQI efforts and directions. The Panel also plans a face-to-face meeting during the ASA's Annual Meeting for those members already in attendance.

Data Use Committee
The goals for the Data Use Committee are the following:
1) Provide advice on the data of most use on the national level. What do our leaders need to hear? What data is no one else reporting? This advice will help guide our future collection and analysis.
2) Prove advice on the best presentation of the data we have now. What should we talk about? What should we bury? What can we trust?
3) Provide advice on external requests for our data. I am optimistically hoping that we will soon be sitting on a very large data mine. Who do we let look at it? Under what circumstances? It would be good to have our own rules and principles worked out before the requests start happening.
4) Provide advice on pricing and priority for external requests.

Participants Committee
The goals for the Participants committee are the following:
1) Provide advice on the best way to get practices to participate in AQI. More practices = more data = more potential value to everyone.
2) Provide advice on how to move contributing practices to "denser" reporting of data, especially in the area of patient outcomes. How much can we reasonably push for? What tools should we offer? What advice do groups need?
3) Provide feedback and a first screening of practice-specific reporting from NACOR. What information and format will be most useful to participants? How should we weight administrative data vs. outcomes? What reporting cohorts make the most sense?
