Vision

To serve as a trusted national resource for people seeking to improve health through the best use of medical therapies

Mission

To conduct research and provide education that will advance the optimal use of drugs, medical devices, and biological products

Carrying out the Mission

We achieve our mission through activities that:

• develop knowledge about therapies and how best to use them;
• manage risk by improving the ability to measure both beneficial and harmful effects of therapies as used in practice;
• improve practice by advancing strategies to ensure that therapies are used always and only when they should be; and
• inform policymakers about the state of clinical science and effects of current and proposed policies
