DCCPS: Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER): CER Priority Setting Groups and Reports

CER Priority Setting Groups and Reports

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-148) established a non-profit institute, the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), to help people make informed health care decisions and improve health care delivery. PCORI will commission research that is guided by patients, caregivers and the broader health care community and will produce high integrity, evidence-based information.
