National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality (NAC): Testimony on Comparative Effectiveness Research
Linda Prine, Reproductive Health Access Project
On April 3, 2009, public testimony on comparative effectiveness research was given at a meeting of the National Advisory Council for Healthcare Research and Quality. The testimony represents the views of the presenter and not necessarily those of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) or the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The Council provides advice and recommendations to the Director, AHRQ, and to the Secretary, HHS, on priorities for a national health services research agenda.

Please look at the State of Washington's initiative to train physicians to provide office management of miscarriage, rather than operating room management. They estimate that this educational program will save their state millions of health care dollars. This program needs to be replicated nationally.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like help developing a program.
