Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute in U.S. Health Reform Bill
Colleagues,
As reported in the Science Careers Blog ... The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that passed the Senate in
December and House of Representatives last night
establishes a new center for comparative effectiveness research in
health care costs and quality ...
... Section 6301 of the bill establishes an independent, not-for-profit corporation, the Patient-Centered Outcomes
Research Institute (PCORI) ...
... PCORI would be funded by a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund, financed by transfers
beginning in 2013 from two other federal medical trust funds...
... The bill calls for PCORI to establish research priorities and a project
agenda based on the prevalence and burden of diseases in the U.S.
particularly chronic conditions ...
... The bill identifies PCORI's research methods: primary research and systematic reviews of
existing studies. To conduct its research, the institute will contract
with federal agencies -- the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to start -- and
non-government researchers...
... Research conducted for the institute will be peer reviewed, and the bill allows PCORI to use the processes
of the NIH and AHRQ or academic journals.... research findings will be made available to the medical community
and general public. AHRQ is also authorized to take proactive steps to
disseminate the findings to physicians, health care providers, patients,
insurance providers, and even health care technology vendors. The bill
calls as well for AHRQ to award grants for training in the research
methods used by the institute...
