Colleagues,
Comparative effectiveness research (CER) is the evaluation and comparison of risks and benefits of two or more established treatments. Its purpose is to give physicians, patients, and policymakers the information they need to make informed healthcare decisions that will improve patient outcomes at both the individual and population levels.
Join us on September 16th to learn how CER design in an interventional setting including device evaluations requires innovative approaches and clinical judgment when using big data such as registries, discharge summaries, and claims. While technical complexity, imaging, and clinical detail – such as anatomic lesions – are important for outcomes evaluations, often only partial information about these variables is available through commonly used data sources. However, there are ways to be creative and overcome these limitations.
At the Comparative Effectiveness Symposium, we will hear from José Merino, clinical editor of The BMJ, as he discusses BMJ conceptual framework. We will also discuss variety of examples of CER studies conducted by investigators from the CER program and Medical Device Epidemiology Network's Science and Infrastructure Center at WCMC.
