AHRQ Evidence Reports and Technology Assessments
Overview
In 1997, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) launched its
initiative to promote evidence-based practice in everyday care through establishment of 12
Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPCs). The EPCs develop evidence reports and technology
assessments on clinical topics that are common, expensive, and/or are significant for the
Medicare and Medicaid populations. With this program, AHRQ became a "science
partner" with private and public organizations in their efforts to improve the
quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of clinical care by facilitating the
translation of evidence-based research findings into clinical practice.
Development of Evidence Reports and Technology Assessments
The EPCs develop evidence reports and technology assessments based on rigorous,
comprehensive reviews of relevant scientific literature, emphasizing explicit and
detailed documentation of methods, rationale, and assumptions. These scientific
syntheses may include meta-analyses and cost analyses. All EPCs collaborate with
other medical and research organizations so that a broad range of experts
is included in the development process. For additional information, please see the
AHRQ Web site.
