Description:
This FOA broadly invites applications to become a Center of
Excellence on Comparative Health System Performance as part of AHRQ's
Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) dissemination work under Section
937(a) of the Affordable Care Act. PCOR is comparative clinical effectiveness
research of the impact on health outcomes of two or more preventive, diagnostic,
treatment, or healthcare delivery approaches. This definition is based on the
definition used in section 6301(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (ACA) of 2010 (http://housedocs.house.gov/energycommerce/ppacacon.pdf).
PCOR produces not only clinical findings (e.g., diuretics are superior to ACE
inhibitors and calcium channel blockers in treating high blood pressure and
preventing cardiovascular events), but also evidence about the effectiveness of
different systems for delivering care.
