    Comparative Effectiveness Research Plan Seeks Input From All Sides
    An independent medical effectiveness research organization has outlined a broad agenda that does not name specific diseases but instead seeks input from patients and other stakeholders on what specific research questions and areas it should pursue. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute was created by the health system reform law to advance public knowledge of the comparative effectiveness of different types of medical care. Such research often compares the relative impact of drugs, medical procedures and medical devices on patients with the same conditions. (American Medical Association, February 6, 2012)
