Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Comparative Effectiveness Review (CER) Development

Presentation: Antinuclear Antibody, Rheumatoid Factor, and Cyclic-Citrullinated Peptide Testing for the Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Complaints in Pediatric Populations
Keywords: evidence synthesis | systematic review | comparative effectiveness review
Exploration of Heterogeneity Is Central to Evidence Synthesis. One of the most important roles of meta-analytic methodologies is to quantify statistical heterogeneity and to explore whether and to what extent it is explained by clinical and methodological diversity.

Exploration of Heterogeneity Is Central to Evidence Synthesis

Presentation: Quantitative Synthesis II
Keywords: clinical diversity | methodological diversity | heterogeneity | publication bias | reporting bias | meta-analysis
This flowchart illustrates the process of how the EHC Program identifies, conducts and translates research. The box at the top, titled “Horizon Scanning,” is connected to the middle of three ovals placed horizontally below it. The three ovals in the middle row represent steps conducted by research investigators: Evidence Synthesis, Evidence Need Identification, and Evidence Generation. Immediately below the middle oval is a rectangle titled: Dissemination and Translation. The words “Research Training” is located in the upper left section of the image, between the oval labeled “Evidence Generation” and the rectangle “Horizon Scanning.” The words “Career Development” is located in the lower right corner of the image, between the oval labeled “Evidence Generation” and “the rectangle ‘Dissemination and Translation.”

Components of the Effective Health Care Program

Presentation: The AHRQ Training Modules for Systematic Reviews Methods Guide: An Introduction
Keywords: Effective Health Care Program | flow diagram | evidence synthesis | topic development | systematic review | DEcIDE Network | Centers for Education and Research on Therapeutics | John M. Eisenberg Center for Clinical Decisions and Communications Science | transparency | relevance
How Does the Effective Health Care Program Answer Real-World Questions? Evidence Synthesis. Research reviews summarize the scientific literature on comparative effectiveness questions and highlight areas for future research. Comparative effectiveness and effectiveness reviews outline the effectiveness, benefits, and harms of treatment options. Technical briefs describe the state of the literature for new or emerging health care tests or treatments. Evidence Generation. New research reports analyze new data to answer comparative effectiveness questions. Research on health care databases may be supported through the Effective Health Care Program, specifically through the DEcIDE Network or the CERTs. Clinical comparative effectiveness trials will be supported through extramural grants. Dissemination and Translation. Summary Guides translate findings from research reviews for patients, providers, or policymakers.

How Does the Effective Health Care Program Answer Real-World Questions?

Presentation: The AHRQ Training Modules for Systematic Reviews Methods Guide: An Introduction
Keywords: Effective Health Care Program | Evidence-based Practice Center | evidence synthesis | systematic review | comparative effectiveness review | Eisenberg Center
The image “Game Plan” illustrates the interrelated roles of the players on the EHC Program team. The diagram is drawn within a shaded hexagonal space that highlights the structure of the diagram. At the top of the diagram is the text “AHRQ TOOs Develop, coordinate and monitor.” At the center of the diagram is a circle containing the text, “Stakeholders Nominate topics, provide input on questions, reviews, and program.” This circle is surrounded by 4 text boxes and is connected to these boxes by arrows pointing away from the center circle. The box directly above the center circle contains the text, “Scientific Resource Center coordinates topic selection/peer review/public input, provides research support.” Arrows made with dotted lines point away from this box to two boxes, on the right and left flanks of the center circle. The box on the left contains the text, “Evidence Practice Centers Evidence Synthesis and Evidence Need Identification.” The box to the right contains the text “DEcIDE, CERTs, grantees Evidence Generation.” From each of these flanking boxes, an arrow made with a solid line leads to a box below the center circle. The box below the center circle contains the text, “Eisenberg Center Evidence Translation and Dissemination.” An arrow points downward from this bottom box to the text, “Patients, health care providers, policymakers make better health care decisions.”

The Game Plan

Presentation: The AHRQ Training Modules for Systematic Reviews Methods Guide: An Introduction
Keywords: stakeholder | Effective Health Care Program | Scientific Resource Center | scientific rigor | objectivity | topic selection | Evidence-based Practice Center | DEcIDE Network | evidence synthesis | Eisenberg Center
The slide entitled “Important terms and concepts” presents a Venn diagram illustrating the relationship and overlap between the different types of reviews. A large, horizontal ellipse, centered on the slide is labeled “Research Review or Evidence Synthesis.” This large ellipse encompasses four diagrammatic elements: on the right, is a circle labeled “Technical Brief;” on the left, are three nested ellipses. The smallest ellipse is labeled “Comparative Effectiveness Review; “the next larger is labeled “Effectiveness Review;” and the largest is labeled “Systematic Review.”
