Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions about Effectiveness (DeCIDE) Network
Description
The DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions about Effectiveness) Network is a
network of research centers that AHRQ created in 2005 to conduct accelerated practical
studies about the outcomes, comparative clinical effectiveness, safety, and
appropriateness of health care items and services. The network is comprised of
research-based health organizations with access to electronic health information databases
and the capacity to conduct rapid turnaround research.
Initial research focuses on the outcomes of prescription drug use and other
interventions for which randomized controlled trials would not be feasible or timely, or
would raise ethical concerns that are difficult to address. Other DEcIDE network projects
may focus on electronic registries, methods for analyzing health databases, and
prospective observational or interventional studies.
