Short Abstract:

The Partnership to Improve Patient Care (PIPC) is writing in strong support of your amendment on comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER) as an essential step to advance CER that is centered on the needs of patients and providers and improves health care quality. PIPC supports comparative effectiveness research as an important element of health care reform that, if appropriately structured, can have a significant benefit for patients. We believe the goal of CER is to provide doctors and patients with the information they need to make good health care decisions
