  2. Medicare Modernization Act 2003 3

  3. Section 1013 of the MMA • To improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of health care delivered through Medicare, Medicaid and the S-CHIP programs • $15 million was appropriated in fiscal years 2005, 2006, 2007 (pending) for AHRQ to conduct and support research with a focus on • outcomes • comparative clinical effectiveness and • appropriateness of health care items and services (including pharmaceutical drugs), • including strategies for how these items and services are organized, managed and delivered.

  4. Types of comparisons • Drug vs drug. • Surgery vs watchful waiting. • Inpatient versus outpatient treatment. • Implantable device versus drug therapy. • Specialty approach 1 versus specialty approach 2. • Models of care (12-step, case management, skills training).

  5. Working Framework for Comparative Effectiveness 6

  6. Effective Health Care Program • Evidence synthesis (EPC program) • Systematically reviewing, synthesizing, comparing existing evidence on treatment effectiveness. • Identifying relevant knowledge gaps. • Evidence generation (DEcIDE, CERTs) • Development of new scientific knowledge to address knowledge gaps. • Accelerate practical studies. • Evidence communication/translation (Eisenberg Center) • Translate evidence into improvements • Communication of scientific information in plain language to policymakers, patients, and providers. 8

  8. First Published Comparative Effectiveness Reviews • Management strategies for gastroesophageal reflux disease. • Benefits and safety of analgesics for osteoarthritis. • New diagnostic technologies for breast cancer screening. • Epoetin and darbepoetin for managing anemia in cancer. • Off-label use of atypical anti-psychotic medications • Renal artery stenting for mild renal artery stenosis. • Therapies for localized prostate cancer. • Oral medications for diabetes management. • Medications for depression management. • Drug therapies and other interventions for osteoporosis.

  9. Published Monday: Emerging Methods in Comparative Effectiveness & Safety • A series of 23 articles by AHRQ researchers on new approaches in comparative effectiveness methods are compiled in a special October edition of Medical Care. • A valuable new resource for scientists committed to advancing the comparative effectiveness and safety research. • All articles available for free download on AHRQ’s website or from AHRQ’s Clearinghouse (Pub. No. OM07-0085). DEcIDE programhttp://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/reports/med-care-report.cfm
