Below is a list of completed technology assessment reports. The technology assessment program at AHRQ provides technology assessments for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). These technology assessments are used by CMS to inform its national coverage decisions for the Medicare program as well as provide information to Medicare carriers. For a list of archived reports from 1990-2002, visit the AHRQ Web site. The AHRQ Web site also provides a list of Technology Assessments In Progress.

Research Reviews are comprehensive reviews and synthesis of evidence, and are reported in several formats. Comparative Effectiveness Reviews (CERs) and Effectiveness Reviews aim to provide comprehensive appraisal and synthesis of evidence. Updates apply systematic methods to bring CERs and Evidence Reviews up to date by reviewing the current literature. Technical Briefs aim to provide an overview of key issues related to an emerging diagnostic or therapeutic intervention. All research reviews are produced by the Evidence-based Practice Centers. Final reports are listed below by health condition.
Cancer
Diabetes
Digestive System Conditions
Heart and Blood Vessel Conditions
Mental Health
Muscle, Bone, and Joint Conditions
